For me, this is the power to create yourself.
What really happens during an intervention? Ross Remien sits down with Ken Seeley, a well-known author and Board Registered Interventionist, to uncover the ins and outs of the intervention process. Ken, who often appears on the A&E show 'Intervention', has spent over two decades helping families guide their loved ones into treatment. He’s also the founder of Intervention 911, making him one of the most recognized names in addiction treatment.
In this episode, Ken and Ross dive deep into the realities of interventions. Ken shares that interventions are acts of love, not anger. The goal is to help the addict understand how their behavior is hurting themselves and their loved ones, and to encourage them to seek professional help. He emphasizes the need for involving a professional interventionist to ensure the process is compassionate and effective. Ken and Ross also discuss the broader challenges of addiction treatment.
They talk about how addiction is a disease, not a choice, affecting people from all walks of life. The episode highlights the importance of approaching addiction with empathy and understanding rather than judgment and shame. Professional support is another key topic. Ken explains how various professionals, from interventionists to therapists to sober living coaches, play crucial roles in recovery. Finding the right support system can make all the difference for both addicts and their families.
The conversation also touches on the financial hurdles many face when seeking treatment. Ken and Ross discuss how insurance and treatment costs can be significant barriers to recovery. They explore different options for financing treatment, including insurance, grants, and other forms of financial assistance. This episode offers a heartfelt look behind the scenes of interventions and the complexities of addiction treatment. Ken’s insights provide valuable guidance for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through recovery.
