Intervention

There is a lot of media and press on the subject of substance abuse intervention these days, there are even television shows covering the topic. What happens in most cases of drug and alcohol addiction is the person ceases to track with reality to a greater or lesser degree. They simply don’t see the situations or consequences that are as clear as day to you or I. Their ability to move their attention away from their own drug induced mental and physical pain and out onto their environments is markedly reduced and they are not aware. This can be quite frustrating to loved ones trying to help, as what is obvious to us is simply not real to the addict in many cases. A substance abuse intervention should be designed to give the addict enough assistance with his external observations that the situations and consequences that his or her addiction is creating once again become real to him or her. When the addict feels the threat of pain and loss from his environment is greater than the threat of pain or loss from drugs he or she usually becomes willing to do something, thought this may be reluctantly.

Substance Abuse Treatment and Addiction

When I found substance abuse treatment six years ago for my addiction I was in total denial that I even had a problem. Everyone around me knew I had a problem though and with the help of my family I was able to find substance abuse treatment. My addiction consumed me completely and there was nothing more important in my life than chasing the high I needed just to feel like a normal human being. Today, I'm happier than ever and so happy that I had friends and family who cared enough about me to make me get help.
