How Do Drug Interventions Work?

Careful planning must go into drug interventions to ensure they have a powerful, positive effect on those being confronted about their addiction. Interventions that are poorly staged or executed can lead to heightened feelings of isolation, betrayal, and agitation in those suffering from addiction — leading to major setbacks in recovery.
Here are the stages of a carefully planned drug intervention:
1.Form an intervention team that consists of family members and close friends affected by your loved one’s addiction and who are motivated to help your loved one become healthier and addiction-free.
2.Take time to learn more about your loved one’s addiction and about effective drug detox programs that can safely treat the addiction type, such as medical detox for opioid addiction.
3.Decide on consequences for your loved one in the event he refuses treatment, such as asking him to move out or revoking his access to your bank account.
4.Have every member of the intervention team prepare notes to share at the meeting about how your loved one’s addiction has affected them on a personal level.
5.Ask your loved one to attend the meeting without revealing the reason for the meeting.
6.Hold the intervention, and ask each person at the meeting to deliver their statements, feelings, and concerns to your loved one. Each person should state their own consequences your loved one will face from them if your loved one refuses to get help.
7.Make treatment arrangements for your loved one, or drive your loved one to a nearby rehab center so he can begin the recovery process.

What Is the Cost of Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

The cost of addiction treatment can range anywhere from free to several thousand dollars per month depending on factors such as location, services, the program type and length, and amenities. Residential and inpatient treatment centers tend to be more costly than outpatient centers since patients live at the facilities and are provided with housing, food, and housekeeping services. Other factors that can affect the cost of rehab are whether you need  drug and alcohol detox  and whether you need medication maintenance to overcome dependence on substances like heroin, painkillers, and alcohol. If you’re feeling any hesitation about seeking addiction treatment due to financial hardship, keep in mind that the costs associated with continued drug use are much higher.
