Determining Success

The ultimate goal of an intervention is getting the addict to enter a treatment center, period. However, there are other levels of success you can achieve by simply making the first call for help.

1. You build awareness of the problem
2. You break the silence and send a clear message and establish boundaries with the addict of what you will and will not tolerate
3. You help bring family and friends together and present a unified front
4. You start doing something constructive rather than letting the addict ruin their life and yours.
5. You lower your stress and increase your safety.
