What Is An Intervention?

I hope this blog provides help for drug and alcohol intervention.

I Have to be honest with you and say that this whole blog thing is pretty new to me so please forgive me while I learn the ropes. The reason that I recently decided to start this blog was because of something that happened a few months back. I was standing in a my Hotel room in El Paso Texas when I received a phone call from a young woman in San Diego. She proceeded to tell me that she was frightened about what she was seeing her chemically dependent family member go thru and needed some advice. For the record I don’t give advice just insights and suggestions. It was at this point that I realized that 75% of the people that call me have no idea what to do or how I can even help them. Because of that is I decided I would:

1. begin developing an instructional DVD that will help families and employers intervene on chemically dependant loved-ones and employees (slated for release 3/09). 

2. I would set up a blog and teach myself how to do this so that people who have taken on the difficult task of developing an intervention might be able to find a community of support.

I hope that the information you find here proves to be useful. Please feel free to post your questions or comments and I will do my best to help you find the support you might be looking for.

"I don't think anyone believes that there is a time when they will need the services of an interventionist. You're confused as to who to turn to for help when the person you love is in trouble. The moment you meet Chris there is a subtle process that begins. He asks important questions, listens intently and quickly gets a grasp of your unique situation. He meets the family and friends involved in the intervention and gets them to focus on the task at hand and help put aside any unresolved feelings of anger or uncertainty..."
