If you or a loved one is struggling with negative effects of alcohol abuse or addiction, take the first step towards recovery and find a rehab facility that best suits your needs in East Orange.

Alcohol Intervention

Intervention is the process of changing a person's thoughts and actions as they relate to self-destructive behavior. The goal is to use supportive, non-confrontational means of addressing a problem to help a person enter a treatment program. It should not include threats, coercion, blaming, or the use of force.

An intervention can be formal or informal. In formal interventions, a counselor or representative from a treatment center is present to assist in the process and make the necessary arrangements for treatment. In an informal intervention, family or friends address the addict directly. Both forms of intervention work, so long as everyone involved remembers that the intention is to guide the addict into recovery treatment.
