Heartland Intervention believes strongly that when an intervention is done right, the central hallmark is love.  In fact we insist that the approach and motive is loving.  This can be a particular challenge when the intervention target has caused so much damage by lying, cheating and stealing.  Families have usually tried begging, threatening and arguing in an effort to get a person into treatment.  But love will likely work when part of a structured intervention.

When the person being intervened on looks around the room,  it is critical that he/she knows that all those gathered love, care about and want what’s best for him/her.  The carefully crafted letters, unity of the group and preparation all work together to make entry into treatment an easier and better choice than to continue a life of addiction.  It also is what makes the intervention effective.

There are two places where the anger, resentment and frustration that the addict/alcoholic has fostered are best dealt with.  The first is during the intervention planning process.  Your interventionist will listen and give you suggestions to help the healing begin.  This also helps  maintain a loving tone during the intervention.  Treatment centers with a solid 12-step philosphy will then help the addict to approach family members in the months ahead in an effort to rebuild relationships.  This underscores the importance of selecting a treatment center that is a good fit your your family member.

An loving intervention is a great process to be a part of.  The focus is on love and getting the addicted person the help that they need.  Heartland Intervention and our founder Scott Watson are committed to helping people access treatment in a professional, structured and loving setting.  Call us today at 877/752-8811 to help with the family member that you love.
