4 Horrible Obstacles That Can Ruin a Substance Abuse Intervention - Episode 64
Episode description
January is often a time when people realize they need help with their addicted loved ones, and we encourage anyone in need of assistance to reach out for help.
For today’s episode, Chris and Danny discuss the importance of raising awareness about interventions, especially during the busy holiday season. They note that addiction is a progressive disease and that holding off on treatment can be dangerous. They talk about interventions as a possible solution for families struggling with addiction and emphasize that it is important to seek help as soon as possible.
Chris and Danny also mentioned the benefits of having a professional interventionist involved when a family is trying to help a loved one with addiction problems. It can be overwhelming for a family to try to coordinate everything on their own, and having someone with experience can make a big difference.
