Often a crisis intervention can be the only effective way to help you deal with a loved one who has become unrecognisable from their former self.

FAMILY INTERVENTION

Having a person in your life that is abusing alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, sex or even spending, working or using the internet can be frustrating, painful and in most cases thoroughly destructive. While we know them to be good people, the individual is often unaware or unwilling to admit how much control the substance or behaviour has over them and becomes defensive when confronted with it. This is part of the uncontrollable nature of addiction. People who are not addicts have no way of understanding, but without help the addicted will continue to use the substance or behaviour and can not or will not stop until it completely destroys their lives or kills them!

However, there is hope: A professional-led intervention by close friends and family members of those suffering from alcohol-related, drug-related or behaviour-related problems is a proven and highly effective method of commencing the recovery process and getting your loved one the help they desperately need.

Through loving testimonials of friends and family, your loved one is shown the detrimental impact of their behaviour on themselves and those around them. Due to the highly emotional process, Interventions must be conducted in a controlled environment by a professional intervention specialist.

EXECUTIVE INTERVENTION

Poor attendance at work, lack of creativity, reduced productivity, expensive mistakes – this can be the result of addiction in an employee. Letting someone go and finding a replacement can be very expensive and an executive intervention is a cost-effective and humane solution. Quite often the addicted is a valued employee and in many cases the compassionate and more appropriate action is to correct the problem and retain the employee.

Interventions arranged in corporate or professional environments are very effective, however circumstances unique to the workplace make it imperative that the intervention is conducted in a delicate, confidential and professional manner.

If you think a valued employee has a problem an executive intervention might help.
