Connecticut drug rehab facility offers drug intervention

Professional drug intervention offered at Connecticut facility

NEW YORK | CONNECTICUT - Professional intervention for drug addiction may be commonplace among drug rehabs across the country, but the one thing that isn’t commonplace is the individualized approach and education that a person and their family receives during the intervention.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center recognizes that the timing of an intervention can be crucial to its success. Timing, coupled with compassionate care and understanding, proves to be an effective course of action in any drug addiction intervention.

“There’s a common misconception that a person must reach their rock bottom before seeking any type of drug addiction treatment,” states a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “In addition, many families mistakenly think that an addicted individual must first come to the realization themselves that they need help before offering any type of intervention. That’s simply not true. Denial of the addiction problem only exacerbates their condition and skews their reality. Intervention is necessary for an addicted individual to get out of denial mode and show them how their addiction is adversely affecting their own lives as well as the lives of their loved ones.”

Through straightforward fact presentation, as well as emotional appeals from loved ones, a caring, understanding intervention can temporarily suspend denial and allow an individual to be touched to the core of their being—their soul. Successful, professional intervention for a substance abuser should never be viewed as confrontational, but should always be seen as a helping hand, an invitation extended to accept help from specialists and those who care so deeply about them. Statistics show that 90-95% of interventions are successful when conducted under the guidance of professionals coupled with the help of those who are close to the substance abuser.

For nearly two decades, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs. Mountainside’s licensed and certified counselors, social workers and treatment team strive to provide quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery.

In addition to its licensed and certified counselors and social workers, Mountainside provides medical services through an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and Registered Nurse with specializations in drug addiction and alcohol treatment. Psychiatric services are also available to clients in need.
