INTERVENTION
An intervention is a commonly misunderstood concept, often viewed as a final, ruthless resort to coerce an individual into treatment. This is simply not the case.
An intervention is a serious and delicate course of action, which in many cases represents the solution that compels a person to accept treatment and embark on the recovery process. The power of professional intervention as a turning point in an addict's life has profound life-altering potential for your loved one, and for those around them.
Orpheus intervention approaches vary according to each individual's personal circumstances. An intervention, like treatment itself, must be tailored to reflect the state of affairs surrounding the client in order to achieve the desired outcome. Severity of addiction; mental and physical conditions; business obligations; and family responsibilities are all taken into account when devising an intervention strategy.
Strategies can range from a simple telephone conversation between client and Orpheus staff member, to a highly co-ordinated, united approach with professional interventionist and family members.
Depending on the mode of action taken, family involvement can be instrumental in the intervention process and in persuading your loved one to accept help. Engaging a professional interventionist gives family and friends the opportunity to express feelings and emotions within a controlled setting.
Unlike family members who are likely to have been impacted by the actions of a loved one, the professional interventionist is emotionally distanced from the client and can objectively gauge the degree of action that should be taken, and guide the overall process.
Early intervention is the key to a successful recovery, and delaying this process will only lead to further detriment. By engaging an organised, professional intervention approach, you and your loved one can begin the healing journey together, with support, respect and dignity.
An intervention is an expression of love sought out of compassion and respect. Just one phone call to Orpheus Private Retreat marks the first step towards setting your loved one on the path to recovery as you embrace the healing process - together.
