Having been to other treatment facilities. Honest Desire is by far the best! I was supported by my peers and lifted up by them when I was down. I started believing in myself and that little glint of hope got bigger. I feel very hopeful for the future.

~ Michele M.

It's hard and it's scary but the road of recovery is well worth it. The feeling of hopelessness will fade and left ahead of you will be clarity, opportunity, happiness and HOPE. You will amaze yourself with the amount of strength you possess and you will grow.

Treating Addiction Disorders

 

According to a study conducted by NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse), an estimated 21.6 million Americans (8.4 percent) needed treatment for a problem related to addic- tion, but only about 2.3 million people (less than 1 percent) received proper care.

 

An addiction disorder exists when a person begins to experience negative effects in important areas of their life due to their use. Areas that typically begin to deteriorate are related to physical health, relationships, employment, legal standing, finances, priorities, emotional stability and social/recreational activity. 

It is obvious that addiction to drugs and alcohol can have devastating effects on a person and their loved ones. And even though substance abuse has been correlated to many factors, no single significant cause has ever been identified. This is most likely due to the fact that, like many mental health issues, substance use disorder is caused by variables ranging through genetics, experiences, and environments.

 

Intervention

Simply put, an intervention is the use of an experienced professional to help an individual dealing with addiction see what others in their life have been seeing for some time. Typically, an interventionist is utilized to help convey these feelings and facilitate the process of change between the addict and their loved ones. The goal of an intervention is to help all parties acknowledge the issue at hand, begin setting appropriate boundaries and start the process of long-term healing.

 

When is an intervention necessary?

An intervention may be necessary if an addict is in denial related to their addiction, has any reservations related to going into treatment or getting help, or is resistant to hearing what their families are saying. Not being open to the idea of treatment is common with addicts so an intervention can help them see life in a new light and make them more receptive to the idea of getting help. There are times when the addict doesn’t take the help being offered and it might appear that the intervention was a failure. The fact is that a dialogue has begun between all parties and change is inevitable as a result of that conversation. While an intervention is not always necessary, it is life changing for all regardless of what the addict decides.
