If you do a good pre-intervention, it's going to be a good intervention, no matter what you do.
Picture this: You're watching someone you love spiral deeper into addiction, feeling helpless and desperate for a way to pull them back. In this episode of the 'Why Intervention Podcast', Christopher Doyle sits down with Earl Hightower, a seasoned expert with over 35 years in the field, to unpack the intervention process and the critical role family support plays in recovery.
Earl shares his invaluable insights on the often-overlooked pre-intervention work and why the first 60 days post-treatment are so pivotal. He sheds light on why many people relapse during this period and introduces strategies to bridge the gap between treatment and sustained recovery. Drawing from his extensive experience, Earl discusses The Johnson Institute's approach to intervention and the modern adaptation of Zoom interventions.
One standout moment is his emphasis on the power of saying yes during interventions—an act that signifies admission, surrender, and a readiness to embrace help. The episode doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of relapse but offers practical advice on managing it. Ending on a hopeful note, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to support a loved one through the rocky terrain of addiction recovery.
It's an episode filled with wisdom, actionable tips, and a message of resilience.
