Professional InterventionistAnswer: When the intervention is handled professionally every scenario is prepared for before it happens. Interventions go a lot better than you thing they are going to. In most cases the client eventually thanks the family for the intervention. Intervention is a rescue. Even if you have them tucked away using in your own home, they are dying right now in active addiction.
