Transforming Interventions: The ARISE Model with Dr. Jack Bloomfield

I don't think recovery happens through shame and guilt.
Imagine a family intervention that feels more like a warm invitation than a sudden ambush. That's the essence of the ARISE model, a refreshing alternative to traditional confrontational interventions. In this episode of The Addicted Mind podcast, host Duane Osterlind chats with Dr. Jack Bloomfield, a specialist in the ARISE model, to shed light on this compassionate approach to addiction recovery.
Unlike the old-school method where the addict is cornered and given an ultimatum, the ARISE model invites the entire family to participate in a supportive and collaborative process. The language shifts from 'you have a problem' to 'we, as a family, have a problem'. This subtle yet powerful change helps the addict feel less attacked and more supported, making them more likely to engage in treatment willingly. Dr.
Bloomfield shares real-life stories of how the ARISE model has successfully guided many towards recovery, emphasizing that 80% of addicts agree to treatment when approached this way. However, he also acknowledges that this model isn't a one-size-fits-all solution and may require adjustments based on individual circumstances. Throughout the episode, you'll hear about the importance of hope, compassion, and community in the recovery journey. Dr.
Bloomfield also offers practical tips for finding an ARISE-trained interventionist and highlights the critical role of family support. If you're considering an intervention for a loved one struggling with addiction, this episode provides valuable insights into a kinder, more effective approach. Tune in to discover how the ARISE model can transform your intervention strategy and help your loved one take their first steps towards recovery.
