Addiction is a complex disease that affects not only the individual but also their family and friends. It can be overwhelming when a loved one refuses help. This is where professional interventionists facilitate the recovery process, guiding families and individuals toward effective treatment and support.
What Does an Interventionist Do?
An interventionist is a trained and certified expert who helps families and people just like you through the intervention process. The main goal is to get a person grappling with addiction to realize that he or she has a problem and to agree to go for treatment.
Essential Tasks of An Interventionist
Assessment and Preparation
- Initially, the interventionist highlights the current scenario, explaining the seriousness of the addiction and reviewing family dynamics.

Educating Families
- Addiction is a family disease. The interventionist teaches families about addiction, co-dependency, and needing to be supportive during recovery.

Planning the Intervention
- The interventionist collaborates with the family to facilitate the intervention, with an eye on the time, place, and who will be present.

- The interventionist guides the conversation to keep it calm, focused and supportive throughout the intervention.
- They counter objections and resistance, allowing the person to view the treatment as a necessity.
Shaping the Path to Treatment
- If the intervention is successful, the interventionist immediately coordinates the individual’s entry into a treatment program.
- They oversee all logistics and also offer emotional support to the person and their family, ensuring a smooth transition.
Post-Intervention Support
- And even once the person has gone into treatment, the interventionist continues to provide advice and support to the family.
