But you can see it. And feel it. In fact, sometimes it feels like you're the only one suffering because of it. You don't have to feel alone any longer. You can get help through a process called intervention , which brings family, friends, co-workers and other supporters together with a skilled, professional facilitator to confront the addicted person in an honest and supportive way.
Intervention is the first step.
Professional treatment is the second. And intervention is effective with adolescents as well as adults. Running out of hope, our family was becoming desperate with the situation at hand. A family intervention was our last ditch effort to try and change the inevitable course my young brother was leading. With care and effectiveness, Jerry Wittman gathered my immediate family, facilitated an intervention, and guided my brother to seek help with his issues.
