Addiction Intervention Support & Planning Services

Harbor Village provides support for your alcohol intervention or drug intervention, so your loved one has the best possible opportunity for success.

How Can a Substance Abuse Intervention Make a Difference?

Before your loved one can begin the important work of recovery, they first must recognize they have a problem — and agree to get help. It’s not always an easy conversation to have. But the behavioral health experts at Harbor Village can provide the support and guidance you need to approach the subject with confidence and sensitivity.

What Are Interventions Like?

Some individuals in active addiction are ready to get help and are eager to get started in drug rehab or alcohol rehab. Generally speaking, though, more people tend to deny that they have a problem with drugs or alcohol, and that the emotional response from their family and friends is overblown. These comments can be hurtful, but understand that the main goal isn’t necessarily for them to admit their addiction; it’s to get them to treatment.

Tips for a Substance Abuse Intervention

An intervention isn’t something to attempt without considerable preparation. The goal isn’t to make you feel better. It’s to convince your loved ones to get the addiction treatment they need for a healthier, more fulfilling life. 

Harbor Village Can Support Your Intervention

• An intervention isn’t something you want to do spontaneously. In fact, there’s a lot of preparation that goes into it. We’re happy to help you plan and prepare. 
• Rather than confronting your loved one all at once — which can overwhelm and alarm them — think about talking with them one at a time, in private. It’s often a less dramatic way of getting the result you want.
• Many people have a false impression of detox — that it’s painful or prison-like. At Harbor Village, that couldn’t be further from the truth! Our medically assisted detox program makes a withdrawal from drugs and alcohol comfortable and safe.
• Be loving and supportive in your conversations with your addicted loved one. While you’ll likely have a chance to share your feelings, make sure not to blame or accuse your loved one. Remember, you’re in this together.
