Approaching someone about their addiction is a very delicate issue. If you do not approach and alcohol intervention or substance abuse intervention correctly then you risk pushing that person further away from receiving treatment. A family intervention should be conducted with care, compassion, and ideally with a trained professional there to assist. Making the person suffering from an addiction feel attacked is the opposite of what you want to achieve. We may be able to help with this stage if you call us and ask about our family and friend referral schemes.
