How does an Invitational Intervention work?
Inviting Intervention - A three-step process towards a sober and healthy life
Phase 1: Intervention – The inititiation to the process
The goal of this phase is to help you in a loving, empathetic and guilt-free way to get the addict to take the first step towards treatment. As family, friends and colleagues, you and I, an experienced interventionist, will form an intervention network. My role is to guide you through the process and motivate the addict to seek help.
The process begins with a free 45-minute telephone consultation where we discuss your situation and decide together whether you want to proceed with an inviting intervention.
We identify and engage more important people in the addict's life who can contribute to a successful intervention. With my guidance, we bring together the right people to create a strong and supportive network.
The intervention itself is carried out in a safe and familiar environment, where we ensure that it is free from distractions and external influences. We focus on creating an open and honest dialogue where everyone, including the addict, gets the opportunity to express themselves.
Phase 2: Support through personal responsibility - The road to healing
Once the addict has started treatment, I will continue to support you for about six months. During this time, we set individual goals for everyone in the network to promote the addict's recovery. This can include family programs, group coaching and therapy.
Phase 3: Living in Recovery – Building a sustainable future
The final phase focuses on, together with you and the addict, preventing relapse and ensuring long-term sobriety. We work to create a stable foundation for a new life by focusing on work, lifestyle, social relationships and personal choices.
