Rehab or behind bars

Interventions can actually come in many different forms. It could be a friend or family member who talks with the alcoholic and convinces him or her to get alcohol treatment. It could also be someone else, like a doctor or a religious leader. In many cases, the judicial system ends up doing the intervening if the addict is arrested for drug possession, drug dealing, stealing, or probation violation. A good drug or alcohol rehab program looks much better to most addicts than spending time behind bars. The addict may also overdose, landing him or her in the hospital. Sometimes coming close to death is enough to get their agreement to accept help. There is one noted luxury alcohol treatment program in Malibu that has wonderful results with interventions.
