The following things need to be considered

when planning an intervention:

Know when to get involved

Speak to the person with substance abuse problem at a time and place where the meeting will be free from

any distraction and interruptions

Make the right approach

Dealing with denial isn’t easy but instead

of using threatening language or being confrontational, try to use a calm, caring

and respectful approach.

Contact an intervention specialist

If you have failed to convince your

loved one to enter treatment even

with the most caring and respectful approach you can muster, it’s the right

time to ask for professional help

Detoxification is a process of removing trace toxins left by alcohol and drugs from the body The type of detox depends on the level and length of drug abuse, but it’s important to know that not all drugs require detox.

A detox program can help the body's natural cleansing process by:

Resting the organs through fasting

Stimulating the liver to drive toxins

from the body

Promoting elimination through the

intestines, kidneys and skin

Improving circulation of the blood

Refueling the body with healthy nutrients
