What Does Drug Intervention Actually Mean?

Question by destinie s: What does drug intervention actually mean?
I’ve heard a lot of people talk about drug intervention and I don’t have any idea about it. I am interested to know because one of my family members is a victim of drug abuse. We are planning to make him go under rehab, but we don’t know how to do it.

Good that you want to know about drug intervention because it’s something that you may really need. Drug intervention is the efforts of friends and family to convince a substance abuser to seek help or treatment. Usually, people who are suffering from substance abuse are in denial and can’t admit to themselves that they have a problem. For more information about drug intervention and to know more information on how you can help your family member, access the links below.
