A Guide to Intervention Specialists
If you need help to intervene in a loved one’s or friend’s substance use disorder, you can contact an intervention specialist to help you through the process. Usually, there is a lot of confusion, mixed emotions and logistics, to sort through prior to an intervention and a specialist is trained to walk you through the process. Most interventions are successful provided they are done right.
