The key point in bringing together an intervention is to do the planning and preparation that's required. Don't cut any corners, because a well-planned intervention is much more likely to succeed and in the unlikely event that the person doesn't go to treatment on that particular day, you'll know exactly what to do next.
Feeling overwhelmed about how to help a loved one struggling with addiction? Jeff and Debra Jay are here to lend a hand. In this episode of 'Intervention Workshop', they break down the essential steps for planning and executing a successful intervention using their Love First model. The Jays emphasize the importance of meticulous planning and preparation, making it clear that cutting corners isn't an option when it comes to this delicate process.
One of the first tasks they recommend is designating a 'detail person' to keep track of all the necessary information. To make this easier, they offer downloadable tools and documents, including organizers for team members, treatment centers, and financial details. You'll also find a checklist to ensure every aspect is covered and a questionnaire to help families ask the right questions when contacting treatment centers.
While the Love First model is designed to empower families to conduct interventions on their own, Jeff and Debra stress that there are times when professional help is indispensable. Situations like a history of suicide attempts, co-occurring psychiatric disorders, or previous failed treatment attempts are just a few examples where professional intervention is crucial. The ultimate aim of an intervention is to guide your loved one towards accepting treatment for their addiction.
Jeff and Debra's expertise offers families a structured approach, but they remind listeners that each case is unique and requires careful consideration. Tune in to this episode for a comprehensive guide on how to support your loved one on their path to recovery.
