Should I hire a professional interventionist?
If you have a loved one that is unwilling to go to treatment than you only have two choices, one is to get advice from a professional on how to do a family intervention, or hire a professional to do the intervention. The only reason that someone would not hire a quality professional interventionist is because of the expense. Professional Interventionists are usually highly successful, whereas interventions done by family have a high degree of failure. When you know that the life of your loved one depends on getting them into treatment, and they are not willing to admit they have a problem and to freely go to treatment, you must take this opportunity to do all that you can to get the into a program and you should hire a professional interventionist if at all possible.
It should be noted that there are some interventionists that call themselves “professional” but they do no have the skills to change minds and build excitement for treatment, but sometimes only get in the way of your objective. Always demand to have numerous references before you hire and interventionist or get referrals from the treatment center that you have decided to use.
