“Addiction Intervention Is Designed To Help

Save The Life Of Your Loved One”

“Your loved one may be battling addiction and you may be frightened for their well being BUT… You don’t have to go through this alone to get them the help that they need.”

Am I making it worse?

There is a reason that an addiction intervention is often called a family intervention. Enabling, put quite simply, is the actions someone takes or does not take that allow or help an addict to continue drinking or using. Oftentimes, with the best intentions and through love and caring, we inadvertently strengthen the addiction of a loved one when what we really intended to do was help them to stop.

This process usually begins slowly over time and almost always with the intention to help. The alcoholic is hung over and we call him off work because we don’t want him to lose his job, or we lend the drug user money because he is just a little bit behind this week. As untreated alcoholism and drug addiction progresses, so too can your enabling behaviors progress.
