Help! I have a loved one in need of an Indianapolis intervention because of their addiction to alcohol and drugs.
Marijuana remains the most significant drug threat to families in Indianapolis, IN. Those with a loved one who appears to be abusing the drug may find it helpful to know help is available, making the process of recovery easier on both the individual and the family. Marijuana use is particularly difficult to combat on one’s own simply because of its exceptional availability in Indianapolis.
Another major threat by way of addiction is the use and abuse of alcohol. Indianapolis’ rate of traffic fatalities is no more exceptional than any other metropolitan area, but to the families of those affected by them, the incident becomes life shattering. Don’t wait to confront a loved one about his or her substance abuse problems – it’s never too early, but too late often comes faster than you think.
It may be helpful when talking with your loved one, to have a third party present that is professionally trained and knowledgeable about alcoholism and alcohol abuse. This intervention technique can save the lives of Indianapolis residents.
Intervention is the best way to make help available to those struggling with an addiction. AiR: Assistance in Recovery’s interventions have helped 92 percent of their clients go on to treatment and realize the opportunity to turn their lives around for the better.
Is now the time?
Ask yourself: How much worse will it have to get before you are willing to act?
If your current situation has you concerned enough to explore this option it’s time. If you are concerned about someone you love, nothing can be gained by waiting. Crisis comes and crisis goes, but with the disease of addiction, we don’t get to choose the consequences our loved ones will face the next time.
Will doing an intervention make matters worse?
No. Doing nothing only makes matters worse.
AiR: Assistance in Recovery’s intervention services in Indianapolis are the most immediate and effective way to help struggling individuals access recovery. Our clinicians recognize that behavioral health crisis can be frightening, confusing and debilitating and that sometimes people just need to be rescued.
