The most popular type of intervention is invitational, since it is seen as more respectful to the addicted loved one. In the time prior to the intervention, and moving forward through it, you can expect the following: The interventionist assesses the situation, addresses any safety or crisis issues, and establishes a timeline for the intervention. The parents and the interventionist make a contract or agreement for an intervention. The interventionist gathers as much information as possible to better understand the family dynamics and to determine what services your teen needs. Some of the information gathered might include medical issues, the family’s history of substance abuse (if any), the history of trauma or abuse (if any), destructive behaviors, and substance use history.
Should I write a letter to my child? Writing a letter to your child can often be helpful in giving them a better understanding of your intentions and concerns. However, this is a question you should ask the program directly. If the program supports this idea, Assisted Interventions should be advised. Throughout the process the intervention and transport team will determine if your child in in a correct “state of mind” to receive the letters. If we determine that this is not positive, we will deliver the letters to the program. All letters MUST be forwarded to the program prior to the intervention for approval.
If you suspect that your teen is drinking or using drugs, looking for the warning signs of drug addiction and symptoms of teen drug use before the intervention will make the conversation hold more weight—in your mind and in your teen’s. Take note of your teen’s suspicious behaviors: How often does he break curfew? When did his grades start to drop? How much alcohol is missing from your liquor cabinet? How many pills off is your prescription bottle? Did you find evidence of drug use in his room or his car? By having your story straight, you will be more likely to get a straight story out of your teen.
Signs Your Teen Is Addicted: First, it’s helpful to determine if your teen is actually addicted to a substance. While a mental health or medical professional is the only one who can officially diagnose your child, having a foundation of accurate information is important for you as a parent. The following are some of the most common general indicators of teenage drug use. Physical signs and symptoms may include: Slurred speech, Bloodshot eyes, Dilated pupils, Fatigue or excessive drowsiness. Change of friends: Your teen may start hanging out with different kids who might engage in negative or questionable activities your child didn’t use to take part in. Socially withdrawing: A teen who is abusing drugs or alcohol may prefer to spend the majority of time in their room, for instance, or they might avoid normal social activities that they used to enjoy.

Your teen will not be happy that you are approaching him about his drug use, and will likely become defensive in the beginning stages of the intervention. He may call you a liar, or a hypocrite because of your past behaviors. He may lie himself, or come back at you with accusatory questions, such as “Why are you going through my stuff?” This kind of remark should be expected, but can stump you if you are not prepared. Make a list of possible reactions your teen may have, and think of your responses. Remember to stay focused on your end goal—to stay focused on your teen’s drug use and his health—and do whatever you can to keep the conversation moving forward.
