While they want help

Sometimes people contact the drug rehab where I work to get help for a family member and they say, "I need to get him somewhere while they want help." They see this little window which doesn't open very often, where their loved one says they want help. Actually, interventionists that are good at what they do mean that a family doesn't always have to wait for this window. The skill they bring to the table is that they work with the addicted person to bring out their own desire to recover from addiction. If a family wants to save a life and the addict isn't responding, they don't have to give up. they just have to find a qualified interventionist. probably most drug rehabs have ones they work with.
