Substance Use Intervention: Help Your Loved Ones Begin Recovery

A family intervention is a structured, compassionate conversation guided by a professional to encourage a loved one to accept help for substance use. It creates space for honesty, accountability, and hope while reducing conflict and crisis.

Families often consider an intervention when a loved one’s substance use is causing harm, denial prevents them from seeking help, or previous attempts to encourage treatment haven’t worked. An intervention provides a safe, guided pathway forward. Check out our blog post: Planning an Intervention in Connecticut?.

At RiseWell, interventions begin with family coaching and preparation. Together we set boundaries, clarify goals, and plan the conversation. The intervention itself is facilitated with compassion and structure—either in-person or virtually—to help your loved one accept support and take the next step into treatment or recovery care.

Typically, close family members or significant people in your loved one’s life take part. Our team helps you decide who to include so the process feels supportive, safe, and effective. Everyone involved receives coaching before the intervention. Check out our blog post: CRAFT: A Guide to a Family-Centered Intervention Approach.

Yes. Confidentiality is a priority. Families and loved ones can feel assured that details shared during preparation and the intervention itself remain private. RiseWell provides discreet, professional services that protect your family’s trust and dignity.
