There are many times you might ask yourself when a family member needs an intervention. We have comprised a list of the top 10 reasons you might feel a family member may need an intervention.
1. Your family member is displaying erratic behavior.
2. Your family member or loved ones disappear for long periods of time, or is constantly making excuses for where he or she is.
3. Your loved on becomes angry, violent or aggressive when you ask them about what is going on in their life.
4. Your loved one makes promises that he or she cannot keep.
5. Your loved one smells of drugs or alcohol on a constant basis.
6. When other family members start to show concern for your loved one, it might be time to stage an intervention.
7. You start to receive concerning phone calls to your house, hang ups, or threats.
8. Your loved one appears to be being abused.
9. Strange items start appearing around the house (pipes, etc)
10. Large sums of money become un accounted for or missing.
If any of these 10 signs start to appear in your house hold it may be time to stage an intervention. Interventions are not easy, and should only be staged by a licensed professional so do not attempt to perform one on your own. These are only a few of the symptoms exhibited in the beginning but normally you will know if you loved one is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
This list mainly refers to drugs and alcohol but interventions can be done on a number of different types of disorders, including eating, gambling and rage. If you need more information about these types of interventions please see some of our other pages that speak about these types of interventions. Again for any sort of major problem such as these, always contact a licensed professional and do not attempt to do an intervention by yourself or with a loved one, it could prove to be harmful to yours and their health.
