Intervention
If you have a loved one who is in denial about an alcohol or substance abuse problem, an intervention may be the first step. Your loved one needs to understand something has to change – either the cycle of abuse, or your allowing the abuse to continue.
Be aware, intervention is also known as confrontation. This confrontation may create more of a problem if you try to do it on your own. Speak with us concerning your problem first… we’ll try to suggest or guide you through the process. Finally if you need our help ‘face to face’ we’ll be there. It’s usually many things that prevent one from getting help when help is necessary.
1. The knowledge that he or she can’t do it alone.
2. The embarrassment of being ‘found out’.
3. The shame of wasted money both on the drugs and/or alcohol and now on treatment.
4. The denial that a problem exist and that someone is scheming behind his/her back.
5. The fear that life will change for the worst without the substance to help cope.
We’ve been there, done that. We’ve been on both sides of the addiction problem. We understand and we know that once it’s on the table and the facts are discussed, the fear will go away and life can begin to take a new direction.
Our trained professionals at Bayshore Retreat can assist in breaking down the walls of denial, fear, or shame. We will help you motivate your loved one to change his/her life. We will also be the shoulder for you to lean on in this trying time.
Remember, Bayshore doesn’t have the appearance or atmosphere of a ‘hospital’ or typical ‘cattle call’ rehab center. This alone can be a factor in someone finally agreeing to get the help he/she secretly desires.
