Here
is a step-by-step approach to how the ASAP intervention
process works:
- Contact
ASAP and talk with one of our trained staff members.
- Set
up a meeting with the ASAP intervention specialist
during which you are able to discuss the history of
the person who needs the intervention as well as the
circumstances in which it will take place.
-
Before the actual intervention occurs, the interventionist
will meet with the family members and friends to go
over each person's role in the intervention, as well
as helping those involved stay committed to their
boundaries and the consequences for the substance
abuser, if he/she does not follow through with the
intervention.
-
Conduct the intervention. Often times it is best for
the intervention to take place somewhere that is familiar
to the individual. Because the situation will already
be awkward and uncomfortable, our specialists find
that the individual's home, or a home of a close family
member is often ideal.
-
After the intervention has taken place, the ASAP interventionist
will continue to spend time with the chemically dependent
(assisting him/her in initial detox if necessary)
and provide transportation to an arranged-in-advance
treatment center.
- Once
the individual is undergoing treatment, the interventionist
will continue to keep contact with him/her. The intervention
specialist will remain active in the guest's recovery
and act as the go between for the family and the recovering
individual.
