What is an alcoholism intervention?!


Question:

What is an alcoholism intervention?

I want to know how this works, since my friend has been considering doing this for another friend. I was too shy to ask her what it meant. Help please.


Answers:

When someone who is dear to you happens to be an alcoholic, you will most likely try to talk to her and persuade her to undergo treatment, right? Well, if you can't get the person to agree to your wishes, that's what alcoholism intervention is for. You seek the help of professionals, called intervention specialists, and they will facilitate a group meeting of friends, family members, and even the employers of the patient, to convince her to stop her intake of alcohol and undergo treatment.
