Professional Intervention offers greater chance of success for drug addiction treatment
Best chance for drug addiction treatment with professional intervention
Confronting a family member or friend with concerns about a drug or alcohol addiction is probably the most difficult step in the recovery process. Often times, professional intervention is needed, not only for the benefit of support, but also to help the family understand what their loved one is going through.
Studies have shown that families and loved ones who utilize professional intervention for addiction recovery have a 90-95% chance of being able to persuade an individual to seek effective drug rehab or alcoholism treatment.
“At our facility, our approach to intervention is from a perspective of extending an invitation for help to the addicted individual,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “The purpose of the professional intervention is to get substance abusers out of their current state of denial and to help them see how their addiction is profoundly impacting their life and the lives of their loved ones. As professionals, we present the facts, and those facts coupled with the emotional appeal from loved ones, can create a disconnect from the denial that they are so deeply entrenched in, and allow the individual to reconnect to reality and what is currently happening around them. The majority of the time, that brief reconnection to reality allows us to truly touch the person’s soul in a way that moves them towards getting the help that they need to begin the journey to recovery. Our licensed, credentialed professionals at Mountainside offer compassionate care when approaching individuals and our intervention success rates prove to be higher than average.”
For more than 12 years, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering an individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment program.
Mountainside’s treatment team is committed to providing quality, compassionate care to each individual in a tranquil, peaceful environment conducive to optimal recovery. The program won national attention and resulted in Mountainside being invited to Washington to meet with the White House Drug Czar, John P. Walters, who wanted to learn more about the innovative program offered at Mountainside.
In addition to its licensed and certified counselors and social workers, Mountainside provides medical services through an on-staff Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse with specializations in drug addiction and alcohol treatment. Psychiatric services are available when needed.
