Intervention Q&A
Should we wait until the addict hits bottom to get him help?Is paying for an intervention & treatment just more enabling?What if the intervention makes things worse and the addict runs away to die in the streets? What if the intervention is too much stress and my ailing family member dies during the intervention. What will the neighbors think?
