## What is a Professional Intervention?

A professional intervention is a structured, compassionate conversation facilitated by a trained interventionist. The goal is to help someone struggling with addiction accept treatment. Key elements include:

1. Family preparation and education
2. Development of an intervention strategy
3. Facilitated conversation with the struggling individual
4. Immediate treatment placement if accepted
5. Ongoing family support

- Proper family preparation
- Unified family messaging
- Treatment arrangements made in advance
- Professional facilitation
- Clear boundaries and consequences

## Common Questions Answered

**When should a family consider intervention?**
When previous attempts to help have failed, when there's fear of overdose or death, when the family is divided on approach, or when the person denies having a problem.

**How long does an intervention take?**
The intervention meeting itself typically lasts 1-3 hours. Family preparation may take several days to a week.

**Does the person need to be surprised?**
Not necessarily. The ARISE model involves inviting the person to participate. The goal is treatment acceptance, not confrontation.

**What if they refuse treatment?**
About 10-15% initially refuse. We help families establish boundaries and often the person accepts within days or weeks.

**How much does intervention cost?**
Costs vary based on complexity, travel, and services needed. A free consultation helps determine appropriate services.
