In family therapy, an intervention is used to give each family member a platform to speak their thoughts and feelings about the addict’s behaviors and encourage them to seek professional help. Interventions are led by a professional interventionist who can facilitate the sessions without having any biases. At the end of an intervention, the addict is given a choice to either agree to treatment, whether this be accepting and adhering to a treatment plan, or to accept the strict boundaries of their family if they don’t go. This may include detachment from the family, cutting off funds that may be subsidizing addiction, withdrawal of emotional support, or even loss of domicile.
