Rehab Is For Real People Too: Interventions

For many of us, the word rehab is associated with celebrity and fame. We think about the many celebrities who have been in and out of rehab—Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Robert Downey Jr., Drew Barrymore, Michael Jackson, Nicole Ritchie, etc. The list is endless. But what many of us fail to remember is that addiction and compulsion affect many people, not just those in the entertainment industry. And for those individuals who don’t have the money to check into beautiful luxurious rehabilitation centers at their leisure, the process of seeking help and recovering is very difficult. For this reason, many people suffering from drug addiction, alcohol abuse, or some other form of compulsion must experience an intervention before submitting themselves to a recovery program.

Intervention AE

AE is known for its provocative and drama-oriented shows. Intervention AE does a good job of exploring these “real life” people who are displaying negative and unacceptable behavior as a result of his or her addiction or abuse. The show provides audiences with a look into what addiction and abuse can do to a person, and how to go about resolving the addiction or abuse. It gives people a look at interventions and the treatment admission process from a perspective that we are not used to seeing in the media.

The Intervention TV Show

The intervention TV show is an example of real like people facing real life challenges. Individual’s who are suffering from drug addiction, alcoholism, etc., are followed as they attempt to overcome obstacles that exist as a result of their behavior. The show illustrates the intervention process as well. It is a good media display of ordinary people dealing with problems of addiction, as opposed to the more normalized celebrity gossip that tends to belittle the difficulties of addiction.

Intervention AE: An Example of Intervention Services and Drug and Alcohol Intervention Strategies

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Intervention AE

Intervention AE, a television show that illustrates real life situations where interventions are staged, can provide its audiences with hope. The show documents individuals suffering from compulsive behavior. Intervention AE profiles these individuals’ lives, and illustrates the personal crises they encounter as a result of their dependency on drugs, alcohol, sex, the Internet, gambling, etc. Each episode ends with an intervention that is staged by family and friends of the individuals. Intervention specialists facilitate the interventions and provide an example of how professional assistance can be extremely advantageous.

Intervention Services

There is a wide array of intervention services that a professional interventionist can provide to a family requesting assistance. A professional interventionist can generally provide the following; profile treatment options available, assist in developing a plan of action, hold a pre-intervention meeting, facilitate the intervention, be present for and facilitate the treatment admission process, provide post-intervention free consultations, and provide post-treatment services. These services produce a higher success rate as the balance of family support and professional facilitation increase an individuals’ likelihood of entering into a treatment program.

Drug and Alcohol Intervention

A drug and alcohol intervention is one of the most common forms of intervening. Drug addiction and alcoholism are both defined as a disease of chemical dependency. Developing a chemical dependency on drugs and/or alcohol is not hard, and can happen very quickly. Many people who fall victim to drug addiction or alcoholism use denial as a defense tactic. Other people may truly be unaware of the severity of their destructive behavior or no longer care about their health or wellbeing. A drug and alcohol intervention is the process of family and friends informing the individual of the negative implications of their behavior, and encouraging them to participate in a treatment program.

Crisis Intervention

One type of intervention that is not as widely discussed is a crisis intervention. A crisis intervention addresses victims of post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD). Oftentimes victims of PTSD have experienced crime, suicide, hurricanes, terrorism, domestic violence, earthquakes, or some other form of traumatic event. Individuals suffering from PTSD often need assistance confronting the reality of what has happened to them, and need support moving past it. A crisis intervention must be employed in a sensitive manner and in a timely manner so that individuals can recover soon and move on with their life.
