I am a firm believer of treatment if and when an addict is ready and willing to give up and give God the power to except the help that is out there. That only then can you accomplish the true recovery? Sometimes it might take a little family intervention, hitting bottom losing it all , court forced or even death of someone close to you before and person in their addiction to open up their eyes and make them want to quit and finally get clean and start their recovery and enjoy the journey of life. However there are these wonderful facilities out there for treatments and I believe that they should include Family interventions if you are recognizing a loved one has a problem with drugs or alcohol is not easy. Doing so, however, can be the difference between getting them the help they need and watching them struggle through life. There are easily overlooked signs to watch for that often indicate a loved one may have a problem with drugs or alcohol. These signs, which are good indicators that professional help from a family intervention specialist may be needed, include: * Difficulty establishing or maintaining relationships * Missing work frequently or the failure to maintain steady employment * Unusual weight gain or loss * Decreased performance at school * Making efforts to isolate themselves from others * Secrecy about their activities * Lack of attention to personal hygiene
If one or more of these issues applies to someone you care about, your loved one could need the help of a professional drug and alcohol rehab program that includes help from a trained family intervention specialist. Next thing that would be needed is detoxification. Once a client agrees to seek treatment, the first stage is detox. Substance abuse detoxification program is supervised by a licensed, certified and caring treatment team. Each client's alcohol or drug detox program is to reflect the type of drug abused as well as the client's level of addiction
