Certainly, intervention quite literally means changing the course, and in this process what we're trying to do is we're trying to touch the person's heart, the identified patient, in such a way that they experience a moment of clarity and that they accept the help that's being offered by the family.
Addiction isn't something most people can tackle alone. Sometimes, it takes a caring family member or friend to step in and guide them towards the help they need. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Paul Golan, a seasoned professional in the addiction field with over 22 years of experience. Paul shares his deep knowledge on how families can effectively intervene when a loved one is struggling with addiction or mental health issues.
He discusses various intervention models, including the Johnson model and Systemic Family Intervention, and explains how these approaches can be tailored to fit different family dynamics. Paul's insights are grounded in compassion and respect, emphasizing that individuals don't have to hit rock bottom before they start their recovery journey. He sheds light on the importance of family support, monitoring post-intervention, and treating those in recovery with dignity.
This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that can help you understand the critical role of interventions in the recovery process. If you're looking for ways to support a loved one through their addiction, this conversation offers valuable strategies and hope.
