Family And Teen Opiate Interventions In Alberta
If an intervention is well planned and well performed, then there is a good chance that the addict will agree that they should seek help. Even the best planned interventions do fail, however, and in that case there needs to be another plan ready to be put into action – the often referred to “Plan B”.
A failed intervention means that the addict is still an addict, and that the situation is most likely only going to get worse. Therefore, you will need to find another way to persuade the person to go to treatment. The family and friends of the addict know that the person is in a difficult position, and it is important that they send a clear message to the addict.
What the addict is saying to the family when they refuse to seek help is essentially that they want to continue their path of substance abuse, and that they place control over their own life above the suffering that their actions are causing. No matter what excuse the addict makes, this is what they are communicating by their actions when they refuse to seek help.
It is imperative that you make it clear that if the addict does not seek help then you will cut contact with them, completely. This means no visits, no talking, no housing and no financial support. Most addicts will quickly make a turnaround and inform you that they “have decided” that they should seek treatment. Do not accept an apology or a statement that you were correct. Be glad, however, that they have accepted that they need treatment. Make sure that they follow through on that statement, and set measurable goals for what they should be doing, because simply ‘going to rehab’ is not enough. The addict must want to be freed from their addiction, and make an effort to achieve that.
