Intervention is a way
of helping people who are addicted to substances or the people who have mental
disease to get back to a healthy and normal life. There are different types of Austin intervention
that are utilized for people with different levels and extents of the
respective issue. The two main types of interventions are:
• Direct Intervention:
In
direct intervention, the family members and loved ones of an addict or the
person who has mental disease slowly guide him back to health. The goal is to
make the addict understand and realize the cons and tolls of addiction so that
he can be encouraged to give up this adverse habit or recover from their mental
disease.
• Forced Intervention:
Forced
intervention is a rather strict type of intervention which is mostly the choice
for the people who fail to recover through direct intervention. The forced
interventions often require professional help from an Austin interventionist so that the patient can be guided to give up an addiction.
These are the basic
categories of interventions. There are however different types of interventions
that lie within these two broad categories of interventions. The interventions
are centered on helping people with specific and particular needs. Some of the
most notable types in this respect are:
• Tough Love Intervention:
Tough Love intervention
aims to help people get over the loss of a loved one or thing. Sometimes, as a
result of a breakup, failed marriage or even death, one person feels like he
has lost the meaning of love and he falls prey to stress and anxiety. Tough
Love intervention is the healing technique that helps such people get back to
life and overcome their loss. Other than relationships, the loved one may even
be a habit or addiction that is very near and dear to one but is harmful to
him.
• Confrontational Intervention:
At times, one is
addicted to something or has a bad habit. Some of these people fail to
acknowledge or realize that they need help. In the confrontational
intervention, the person is made to understand that he has a problem and needs
help. However, a lot of care is required in terms of adopting confrontational
intervention as the person may be in a state of denial and gently needs to be
confronted so that he realizes his issue and problem.
• Johnson Model Intervention:
The Johnson Model intervention
is an extension of the type of confrontational intervention. But rather than
taking care of the confrontation part through a professional or the
interventionist, the family is trained to help the patient and confront the
situation and realize it himself. This way the patient feels comfortable
because he is surrounded by the people he loves and trusts. A professional can
assist as required, but the main focus lies on the role of the family in
helping the person understand that he needs help.
Intervention is a
proven and tested way of helping people and guiding them back to leading a
healthy and normal life again that is full of content and hope for a bright
future.
