Very rarely does a client who is actively drinking or drugging themselves to death go online, look for a professional Interventionist and call them asking for help. Just doesn’t happen like that. Usually, a family member or business colleague noticing a self-destructive streak taking place, tries to confront the individual only to be demonized and in many cases blamed for the addicts behavior.
It’s chaotic, sad and truthfully to an individual who doesn’t have a drinking or drug problem, it just doesn’t make any sense.
Our client’s friends and family struggle to be helpful but find that an alcoholic or addict doesn’t respond to logic or conventional wisdom.
You’ll probably need help getting this person into Treatment. You need an unbiased professional to get in between the addict or alcoholic and the loved ones to help set some boundaries.
This is what our Sober Partners Interventionists do.
