The intervention is a process, not a one-time event. If your loved one does not accept the help immediately, it’s not a failure. The family must hold firm boundaries which will motivate your loved one to change.

How does New Life Recovery Services find treatment for my loved one?

Many factors determine treatment. First, we conduct an assessment of your loved one. We take into consideration such things as their clinical needs and treatment history. These steps result in a treatment solution. We do not have an affiliation with treatment centers. Our goal is to get your loved one the right treatment.

Why can’t my loved one just stop on their own?admin2019-02-28T20:45:09+00:00

Why can’t my loved one just stop on their own?

Addiction is a disease. Chemical dependency takes over an addict’s brain and changes his or her entire neurological makeup. Addicts need more than just willpower to get sober. Families use intellect and rationalization to motivate change. This approach does not work. A professional is required to engage with your loved one.

Must my love one hit rock-bottom for an intervention to work?

Rock bottom is an often-used phrase when discussing addicts and addictive behavior. Many believe that an addict cannot bounce back into sobriety until they hit this shallow point. The reality is that rock bottom can be difficult to pinpoint. Rather than wait for this vaguely defined time, try to get help for your loved one before things progress that far.
