Pre-Intervention
This is an emotional time for the family and stakeholders. Together, you learn there are “no more secrets” as you share possible ways in which you may have enabled your loved one’s addiction. Often times the behavior was inadvertent, and done out of love such as excusing missed school, covering up work absences, or ignoring missing money. The team is consistently available to speak with individuals and assessing their anxieties. Participants may also attend support groups or continue seeing their own counselors during this period.
