The term intervention has become very common in the U.S., thanks in part to television shows that highlight the activity of helping someone with a type of addiction to receive some form of treatment or therapy. In most cases this is definitely a good thing, though people who make light of it may not know the pain and agony caused by addiction and the turmoil that families are put through when trying to help a loved one.

Forms of Interventions

Just as there is a seemingly endless list of types of addictions, there are also many forms of interventions. Some forms are discussed in more detail on this site, such as a family intervention or professional intervention services.

The key to a successful intervention can be not only in what form is used, but also what type of help is offered for the individual for his or her specific needs. This can include the best facility to attend, and more.

An intervention is usually needed because the person harming him- or herself cannot stop and thus someone else needs to step in to curb the destructive behavior. A successful intervention is an extremely liberating experience that can bring relief both to the person needing help as well as those doing the intervening. It marks the end of a negative path and the beginning to a positive one.
