When you have a loved one who is addicted to drugs or alcohol, there may come a point when you know that he or she is unable to help him or herself anymore. This may be the time to plan and stage an intervention with the intention of sending your loved one to a drug rehab in Port St. Lucie.
Interventions have become part of our culture. Any time one of our friends is doing something we find particularly disturbing, we have an intervention. We all know what interventions are supposed to be about. But they don't always go the way we see on TV. Sometimes the person with the problem does not want to talk about it. Sometimes he or she will take off instead of staying to hear how much his or her family and friends care. Sometimes your loved one could turn violent and refuse to seek treatment for an escalating problem. So it is a good idea to make arrangements and have plans for as many outcomes as possible.
Contact appropriate professionals beforehand.
If you have immediate concerns about the health of your loved one, contact a doctor before staging the intervention so that you know what the next step might be. If the doctor recommends it, you may want to have an ambulance or the hospital on alert. If you intention is to check your loved one into a drug rehab in Port St. Lucie, contact the rehab. They may have information that would be useful in handling your loved one and how to prepare him or her for a stay in rehab.
Get a group.
Ask anyone you think is important to you or your loved one to come. Explain that this is going to be a difficult and emotional experience, and that both you and the person in danger are going to need a lot of support. Give everyone you ask the opportunity to say no. Not everyone is emotionally equipped to deal with what you are asking of them.
Keep it under wraps.
A dead giveaway that something is going on would be a dozen cars parked in your driveway. Ask everyone attending not to share the information about the intervention with the person in danger and to park their cars down the street, around the corner, or take public transportation.
