An interventionist is a professional who helps individuals struggling with addiction to find the treatment they need. Interventionists are trained to assess and develop individualized plans of care, facilitate group meetings, and ensure that patients receive the resources they need to maintain their recovery. Interventionists are often employed by family, friends, or loved ones to help someone suffering from addiction to begin their journey toward sobriety.
The Role of an Interventionist
An interventionist’s primary role is to provide the necessary support for someone in active addiction whose family or friends are deeply concerned. This includes providing education about addiction, guiding discussions about treatment options, helping patients develop a plan of action, and connecting them with resources such as counselors, therapists, and support groups.
What is the Intervention Process?
- Gathering background from relevant parties
- Determination of the type of intervention or facilitated meeting that will best match the situation
- Selection of an appropriate interventionist or team
- Preparatory discussions with family members, employers, and/or advisors
- Discussion of appropriate boundaries to be implemented if the client refuses help
