Intervention is about intervening on that family system as a whole.
Ever wondered how families can play a crucial role in addiction interventions? In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery', hosts Mike Miles and Ed Chionchio Sr. are joined by interventionist Tom Burruel to unpack the complexities of family involvement in the intervention process. Tom, co-founder of Intervention 180, shares his expertise on how interventions can help 'raise the bottom' for those struggling with addiction.
He emphasizes that it's not just about the individual; the entire family system is part of the journey. Mike also opens up about his experience conducting his first solo intervention, shedding light on the challenges and rewards of this critical step. The discussion dives deep into how parents and family members often unknowingly enable addictive behaviors and why they need support and education just as much as the person struggling with addiction.
The episode wraps up with practical advice on case management, monitoring, and why some people believe treatment doesn’t work. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help navigate these tough waters.
