Drug Intervention Information

"It would be nice to tell you that I did it on my own. It would be nice to tell you that I made some spiritual breakthrough and saved myself, but the fact is that I didn't."

These are the actual words of someone who made it through drug rehab because of the intervention of family and friends.

Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia has helped hundreds of drug addicts lead drug-free, productive lives. However, in many cases, without the support of friends and family, the addicts would have made it to drug rehab in the first place.

Mary Rieser, Executive Director of Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia, explains: "Many of us have heard of intervention and have perhaps seen the TV show INTERVENTION. In this reality program, a professional interventionist works with the family and drug addict to get the addict to agree to rehab. The interventionist does a good job, often rescuing the family and addict from a living hell within the one hour allotted for the show. Is it any wonder that many wish for a fairy godmother who will provide a happy ending before the final commercial break?

"Successful approaches that result in treatment for the addict happen within the framework of an intervention; that is a family meeting. These meetings must be carefully planned beforehand. A family that has already been through hours of defiance, despair, rage, arguments, threats and tears, may have difficulty with this careful planning. Fortunately, help is available."

Some families may be more confident with the help of an outside interventionist. The person chosen should have a good track record and access to a rehab program with a high recovery rate that is immediately available. (Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia will admit eligible candidates immediately.) The family should feel comfortable with the personality of the interventionist.

Obviously there are not enough trained interventionists for every family, but there is help available. Ms Rieser comments, "At Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia we provide materials upon request, help plan family intervention meetings and assist in getting addicted members into treatment. An experienced staff member will assist during the meeting if needed, either in person or by phone.

"An intervention with proper planning and carried out correctly will result many times in an addict agreeing to receive help. Call us. We will send you written a written intervention study guide, coach your family and help with planning where all possible scenarios are thought out and prepared for. And for those special situations where you need an outside interventionist, we can help you with that too. The point is - YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER."

As one graduate of the Narconon Program put it: "My family and friends guided me and forced me into drug rehab and for that I will be forever grateful because I am alive. I live. I enjoy every day now, especially knowing where I would have been had I been allowed to go where the drugs were leading me. My family's help will always be a debt I owe because without it I'd be gone."
