Substance Abuse Interventions
Intervention Programs
Sameem Associates, Inc. offers a formal intervention service for families who are concerned about the active alcohol abuser and/or drug abuser in their lives.
Intervention is designed to work with alcohol abusers and other people suffering from chemical dependency who deny their problem and thus have the need for professional help. The goal of an intervention is to educate individuals (spouses, family, friends, work associates) who are concerned about the disease of addiction and to get the active alcohol abuser/drug addict and family involved in treatment.
The intervention process usually involves 2 to 5 sessions with the concerned individuals. The alcohol abuser/drug addict is told of their family's concern and that they are getting education and counseling about problem drinking and drug use. When the education and counseling sessions are over and the family involvement is scripted and monitored by the intervention professionals, the active alcohol abuser/drug addict is invited to attend the intervention.
Intervention Process Overview:
We use a proven process and Intervention methodology which has one of the highest success rates in reaching your intervention goals.
1st Session: Meeting, Introducing Everyone, and Hearing Concerns
2nd Session: Further Info Gathered, Members of the Intervention Team Selected
3rd Session: Members of the team discuss and write down positive data about the alcohol abuser/drug abuser
4th Session: Negative behavior discussed that directly connects to use of alcohol/drugs. Scripts are written for members of the team.
5th Session: Rehearsal for intervention as if the alcohol abuser/addict were present
Success is greater when the intervention process follows a proven process and plan. It's important that the atmosphere during the intervention process is non-judgmental and caring. Taking these extra steps allows for family and friends to separate their judgement and anger so that it doesn't come out during the intervention.
