subject: INTERVENTION: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! [print this page] If you have a love one that has a drug and alcohol problem, PLEASE don't let it get to a point that they can't come back from. Look at a professional intervention as preventative! Don't wait until a crisis occurs and DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN. If your loved one had cancer, you certainly wouldn't treat them yourselfyou would take them to a cancer specialist. This isn't any different. Please call a professional if your loved one has an addiction problem, you may only have one chance to get this right!
