DENIAL
The number one symptom for the chemically or behaviorally dependent person is denial. How can you blame your loved one for not asking for help? They don't believe that they need help. Out of 23 million Americans that suffer from this disease, only one to two percent of them hit their "bottom" and go to treatment. THIS is why it is so important that TODAY you hit your bottom and take the necessary action - so you and your family (with the assistance of a professional) can come together to create your loved ones' bottom. This way, it doesn't have to become any worse then it already is. You've watched it spiral down and not get better. It will continue until YOU do something. You have the power to break down those walls of denial and help get your loved one into treatment TODAY... but it takes someone who really loves and cares about the addict to take that action. It only takes one person; we can help you figure out who the others will be to help you do this. Give us a call to start the process of breaking though the walls of denial and get your loved one to treatment. Way too often, we have watched people wait for it to happen naturally… and things become far too devastating. Do it today before that time comes for you, your family and your loved one. We are here to help.
Our intervention process is 98% successful in confronting (with love and compassion), the chemically or behaviorally dependent individual on the severity of their disease. Family intervention involves members who exert an influence on the dependent's life, along with a Counselor. Together, they gather and present facts and data related to the chemically or behaviorally dependent's problem and consequences. Interventions are designed to smash through the dependent's rigid denial defense mechanisms and break through to reality
The reality - They are suffering from a disease that is chronic, progressive, incurable, and, if left untreated, can result in premature death. This disease is called chemical dependence (or behavioral dependence).
Overcoming Denial
The greatest obstacle in treatment for
the chemically dependent person is denial. One way to overcome
denial is through drug
abuse intervention. Guided by intervention
specialists at Intervention 911, family members, friends,
employers, and significant others learn how to deal with
the person and the disease by breaking through denial. They
learn how to shift the emphasis from blame on the dependent
person to positive methods of responding to the individual's
addiction. Working together, the interventionist and the
significant others help the dependent person view his or
her illness through the devastating effect it is having
on others. It is then that a decision is usually made to
seek treatment. The drug
interventions and alcohol
family intervention process works. Most chemically dependent
people who see a crisis
interventionist like Ken
Seeley make the decision to enter treatment.
That is their first step toward recovery.
The Process
Intervention is a process that is 98%
successful
in confronting (with love and compassion), the alcohol or
drug dependent individual on the severity of their disease.
Family intervention
involves members, who exert an influence on the dependent's
life, and a Counselor gather together and present facts
and data related to the chemically dependent's problem and
consequences. Professional
drug interventions are designed to smash through the
dependent's rigid denial defense mechanisms and break through
to reality
The reality- that they are dying of
a disease that is chronic, progressive, fatal, incurable,
and, if left untreated, that can result in premature death.
This disease is called chemical dependence.
