Overcome Addiction - Family Intervention |
This treatment option is the equivalent of holding a little surprise party for the substance
abuser, which is orchestrated by the hands of a therapist or professional interventionist.
Information is compiled weeks prior to the surprise, and each family member is
instructed to confront the habitual behaviorist in a speech littered with shame and guilt!
All taking place while the white treatment center van is parked outside, motor running
ready to whisk the person off to therapy, after they break down into a sobbing mess!
Well, let’s think about this for a minute! We know that the root cause of addiction stems
from emotional issues caused by none other than Family dysfunction. So, the intervention
allows some of the very perpetrators to lambaste the substance abuser with a barrage of
guilt and shame! This will only exacerbate the emotional traumatic scars that are at the
root of the addiction, and in many cases will worsen the addictive behavior. Furthermore,
even if the person agrees to treatment following the intervention, the likelihood of
permanent success is slim since, the root cause still remains and has not been dealt with
in the appropriate manner.
If the parents of the habitual user truly wish to intervene, and
want to help their child or adult child, then I would offer the following recommendation;
Begin by examining your own actions and the actions of your spouse. How may these
actions have caused an emotional pain that has resulted in the habitual behavior to mask
it? In other words, locate the root cause!
