If the family recovers, research has shown that it's more likely that the individual is going to recover.
Ever wondered if an intervention could help a loved one struggling with addiction, or if it might just make things worse? This episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery' dives deep into the heart of that dilemma. Host William C. Moyers sits down with Drew Horowitz, an experienced addiction clinician and intervention specialist, to unpack the intervention process. Horowitz breaks down what really happens during an intervention, who gets involved, and the crucial timing for taking action.
He also shares practical advice on preparing for an intervention and what families need to know about treatment and recovery. Horowitz dispels common myths about interventionists, explaining that they are not the agents of change but rather coaches guiding families on how to motivate their loved ones towards accepting treatment. He emphasizes that the family's recovery journey is just as vital as the individual's.
Research shows that when families engage in their own recovery, it significantly boosts the chances of the individual getting better too. The conversation doesn't stop at the intervention itself. Horowitz stresses that post-intervention support is essential. It's not a one-time event but an ongoing process requiring continuous family involvement. He shares strategies for families to maintain support after their loved one enters treatment, highlighting the importance of seeking help early before hitting rock bottom.
This episode offers a blend of information and heartfelt advice, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction in their family. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to support your loved one's journey to sobriety and why early intervention can be a game-changer.
