How can I help a family member or friend realize they have a substance abuse problem?
The Open Door Crisis Hotline can provide information about how to conduct an intervention. An intervention is a caring, deliberate, and well-conceived event, through which people who care express their concern. It is a safe and intentional opportunity for them to reflect back to their loved one the ramifications of his or her behavior on themselves and others, and to present a plan to change and get help in ways that will address the causes and alleviate the suffering of all involved. **The Open Door cannot instruct, or participate in a family intervention; we can only provide education to family members and friends on how to conduct the intervention.
