Where you choose to hold the intervention and what environment you select can have a major impact on the success of your efforts. It may be beneficial to hold the intervention in a space that is comfortable for the person struggling with addiction, such as their home or another private location. If the person experiencing addiction does not feel comfortable or safe, they may become defensive and less receptive to your concerns. You should also try to choose a time when your loved one is not intoxicated so that they can truly listen and respond accordingly.
