For those that don't know much about the intervention process, Burr Cook, of Family Intervention Now, answers: What is an Intervention?An intervention is a deliberate process of bringing a family together with a professional to lead them, to educate them, to guide them and unite them through the process of intervening on behalf of a loved one’s addiction. More specifically, an intervention is a deliberate and structured process of bringing a group together to address a harmful or destructive behavior and to provide a solution for the person engaging in that behavior. Typically the group consists of family, friends, co-workers. The behaviors are usually drug and alcohol abuse, but can be gambling, sex, eating disorders, mental illness etc.
