Intervention and detox are two parts of the drug treatment process that are sometimes overlooked. Both play an important part in helping the addict to overcome their addictions. Before a person enters a drug rehab program they have to make a decision to go there. That may sound on the surface as a dumb statement, but it is essential in the healing process of recovery. The addict has to make the decision. If the addict does not make the decision to go, then it is difficult for rehab to be effective. So, you ask, what if the addict does not decide to go, what then? That is where an intervention plays an important role.
When we speak of an intervention, we are actually speaking of different forms of intervention. A crisis intervention, a family intervention, or drug and alcohol interventions are different forms of the same thing. They are simply adapted to the situation at hand. A crisis intervention is needed when there is an immediate and critical need for a person to enter rehab. Without rehab the person may die. Without an immediate intervention, there is a certain and dire consequence. In this case, a trained interventionist is brought in to counsel with the addict. There are many different ways an interventionist will work. Since the goal is to get the addict to �choose� to enter rehab, rather than feeling forced, this can take some extended effort. You have probably tried and failed to get your loved one to this point of accepting treatment. That is why you need professional help.

Another type of intervention is called a family intervention. A family intervention brings the family together with the addict. The family members have a chance to talk to the addict and tell him or her how their addiction has affected the family. Usually in this case, the family also should state to the addict that they can no longer expect to receive help from the family. The addict can choose to continue to use, but the family will no longer enable the addict. This means no financial support of any kind. If it means the addict will be homeless, then that is what it means. Most times, the family has enabled the addict far too long by continually �bailing out� the addict from their problems. In a family intervention it is most important that the addict knows his or her family loves them, and wants to help them, but will not support or enable any longer their addiction. If this is handled correctly, there is a good chance that the addict will understand they have few options, and will understand that they need help, and will then choose to enter rehab.
Once the addict enters rehab, there is commonly a first step required before treatment can begin. This is called detox. Detox is important because before the addict can think straight, their body has to be free of the influences of their drug of choice. Different addictions require different approaches to detox. The types of detox we usually provide include alcohol detox, a combined drug and alcohol detox, opiate detox, and detox from prescription pain medications including Vicodin detox and Oxycontin detox. Drug detox takes all of these into account. A person�s medical history, a current physical exam, and knowledge of the patient�s history of drug abuse will determine the type of detox required.
In some cases, certain drugs are administered during detox to help the patient�s body recover without a serious reaction from sudden withdrawal. Only a licensed medical doctor will know what will be needed to assure a quick and painless detox. Regardless of the drug abuser�s history, an effective detox like what we offer is the first step to recovery. Once the addict�s body is not reacting either to the drug or the withdrawal of the drug, an effective drug rehab program can begin. You must remember that all of the time you are talking to an addict, you are talking to the drug, not the person. So the goal of detox is to rid the body of the drug�s influence, and also make sure that the body can tolerate the withdrawal process in a safe and controlled environment.
