Can My Family do an Intervention without Professional Guidance?
Of course, but be very careful.
Interventions are difficult and delicate matters and it is important that they be done properly. Nearly all interventions can benefit from the advice and counsel of a professional experienced in the intervention process. Family dynamics can lead to a very difficult time while trying to orchestrate a positive intervention. An interventionist acts as a mediator and has professional experience in finding a different approach to presenting treatment options.
Many families waste a great deal of time and effort trying to organize an intervention on their own and often it is so difficult that the intervention never takes place at all. Sometimes, unfortunately, the intervention does take place and a great deal of harm is done.
The first thing to do is to seek out the advice and council of an interventionist. At least make the call and talk a little about the intervention process. You don’t have to commit to anything until you are ready.
