A good drug rehab is the gold standard in drug and alcohol addiction treatment, but it's not always easy to get an addict to consider rehab. Denial is a common symptom of addiction, with many addicts hiding the disease from loved ones or lying to themselves about the ways in which the addiction undermines their quality of life and judgment. For this reason, many addicts are only willing to consider rehab after an intervention.
Northpoint Recovery is a state of the art, comfortable and modern inpatient detox and drug rehab facility designed to help our clients get the help they need to overcome addiction.
An intervention harnesses the power of peer pressure for good. During an intervention, an addict's closest loved ones - usually just immediate family and closest friends - gather to plead with the addict to seek help. Interventions are typically surprises, with family members planning for them for weeks in advance. The addict then walks into a meeting to see the people she loves most gathered together. This in itself is a powerful experience that can make the addict more willing to listen than usual.
For instance, a daughter might share that her mother's addiction meant mom couldn't help her get ready for prom, and highlight the fact that she can never get that night back. In most cases, interventions start with the person the group believes will be least effective - often a more distant relative - and ends with the most convincing person - usually a spouse or child, but sometimes an older relative, sick parent, or other compelling figure.
Next, each member of the group asks the addict to seek help. If the addict agrees, he or she will often go straight to a facility the family has picked out. If the addict does not consent, each family member may change his relationship with the addict. Usually the participants share these changes during their original statement. For instance, "I hope you'll be willing to accept treatment, but if not, I can no longer pay your rent or take your phone calls." This "carrot and stick" approach can be highly effective, but is safest and most useful when done under the guidance of a skilled and licensed interventionist.

Though rehabs and intervention often go hand-in-hand, you don't have to go through an intervention before going to rehab. Indeed, most recovering addicts simply go straight to rehab. The benefit of an intervention is that it can clarify your motivations for getting clean and sober by reminding you of how your addiction affects others. Research suggests that rehab only works when addicts are ready and willing to go on their own, not when they're forced. So an intervention is simply a way to persuade an addict to seek treatment.
