What is the ruin of the addict?
The drug addict has things in his/her past or present that seems to be a devastating event and which has something to do with drugs. One instance is an individual who has lost his best friends because of his addiction. Another one is an individual losing his wife and child over drug abuse. A family member can look at a drug addict's life and see hundreds of reasons he/she should quit using drugs, but unfortunately these reasons are not REAL to the addict. There is, nonetheless, issues the drug addict encounters that are real or significant in his life, which he/she sees as a reason to stop using drugs. It is extremely important to identify these issues because they can be utilized during the intervention to remind the drug addict why he/she must seek help. What pressures does the drug addict feel right now?

What pressures does the addict feel now?
The drug addict doesn't necessarily have the same reality about their drug addiction that non-addicts might have. For example, he/she might have semi important health issues/no friends and no job or income but feel like they are "doing OK". Several drug addicts have actually overdosed on drugs coming very close to death and still are right back using drugs the very next day. This might seem crazy, but in reality it is only part of the pain the drug addict is suffering from.
With this in mind, the drug addict will encounter, with time, added pressure, which forces him/her to make an actual decision about whether to seek help or continue to use drugs.
Pending legal charges that might easily lead to jail time, threat of losing spouse, pending loss of job, all are possible situations where a drug addict has enough pressure to fight the addiction and seek help. Even though any situation in particular might not work in your situation, there are pressures that can occur which will help the drug addict to take the decision to seek help. It is easy to assume that the drug addict is "only seeking help to avoid jail" or certain other evaluation which in several cases is true. The fact remains that a drug addict will only seek help when someone or something pushes him out of his “addiction comfort zone" and forces him to make this decision. Very few drug addicts with access to money, a place to live, people who agree with his drug use and no legal issues seek help and rehabilitation. They "don't have a problem". This is extremely important to understand this fact and this will be crucial in any attempt at intervention.

Who should be there?
One of the major and important considerations involving intervention is selecting who will be present. This should be well thought out before the intervention happens. The amount of people present is less important than who is present. If at all possible, the individual in the family whom the drug addict respects the most should be present.
This individual is an opinion leader to the drug addict and needs to be present and fully supportive of getting the drug addict help and well informed about the actual agenda.
As many family members as possible should be present, as long as each and every one are completely in agreement about the fact that the drug addict needs help and supportive of the general agenda. If someone in the family is antagonistic towards the drug addict and is not capable of restraining themselves from arguments and blame then you might consider leaving them out of the intervention.
Generally, the drug addict has many enemies and has done wrong to the majority of the family. Nonetheless, agitated and disturbing arguments will not benefit the cause of getting the drug addict to seek rehabilitation. Indeed, this will generally stop this from happening because the attention is focused on the argument and not on the matter of getting the drug addict into rehabilitation.
Several individuals hire professional intervention counsellors to run the intervention. This is recommended in several situations but is not always a necessity. This depends on individual circumstances. For example, does the drug addict have pending legal issues, external pressures etc. or does he deny completely any drug use. These factors need to be considered before bringing in an outside person.
You might want to seek help in establishing who should be present at the intervention because it is an important factor.
When is the appropriate time?
When does the intervention take place? Ideally, this has less to do with the family schedule and more to do with what's happening in the drug addict's life.
The optimum time for an intervention is right after a major event such as when the drug addict is arrested, or when he/she has wronged (lied, stolen, cheated etc.) a family member and shows remorse or guilt or overdosed. Another would be a spouse leaving. Even though you obviously don't want to risk the drug addict's life by postponing forever, an intervention will be exponentially more effective after such events when the drug addict is down and feels like his/her world is coming to an end.
Even in the absence of these situations, an intervention may be successful, particularly if the family is close to the drug addict daily so that every little situation is known. A drug addict's life is a roller coaster and the only way an addict can deny his problem is to successfully hide it from those who love him.
The intervention should happen when the drug addict is sober. In the case of Cocaine, Methamphetamine etc. the intervention should take place in the morning after the drug addict has slept. In the case of Heroin, Methadone or any opiates, it will be when the drug addict is withdrawing and not high. In either case, attempting an intervention while a drug addict is high will generally not be productive, because the addict can not see many of his problems and his attention will be elsewhere.
Generally, the timing of the intervention is crucial and needs planning but at the same time, a drug addict's life is extremely unstable, so opportunities present themselves reasonably frequently.

What is the general message?
The tone should be concern and the intention should be clear. It should be unwavering.
“We love you, we've always loved you, we'll never stop loving you but we're not willing to watch you kill yourself with drugs".
The family should definitely express concern, but not sympathize with the drug addict. Sympathy is a form of agreement and can justify the drug addiction.
Without any anger or fear, the drug addict should "get" from every one present that the situation is known and that he/she needs drug rehabilitation. Don't allow stories of family issues and life's troubles sway the attention off the point that the drug addict has a problem and needs to seek help. This is where the family's preparation pays off.

What is Plan B?
Whatever reason, say "NO". This scenario needs to be considered in advance so that the family consistently moves to the proverbial -plan B.
If for whatever reason the drug intervention fails, the addict is still an addict and statistically, the situation will likely get worse. So what action needs to be taken by the family at this point? The family knows the individual is addicted, and the drug addict has been confronted with this fact, so whatever message the family gives the addict at this point is critical.
By refusing to seek rehabilitation, the drug addict generally is saying to the family “I want to continue to use drugs. I want to continue the hurt my family. I want to control my own life." The family will then intern answer with every word and action taken. If the family members say “We understand. Please leave and don't expect any money or support in any way, unless you decide to get help." Then, the drug addict is left to run his/her life which they usually do not have the ability to do, and before long, you have a drug addict who "DECIDES" that rehabilitation is the best thing and asks for help. If on the other hand the family acts disappointed and carries on as usual, then the drug addict gets the message that it is OK to continue this life style and will put up even more resistance to the intervention in the future, having bested the intervention team previously.
Obviously, there are some risks involved with either approach and should be evaluated clearly before the intervention. One thing is sure, as long as the drug addict continues to use, he risks the only one thing he has; his life.
The bottom line is that a drug addict needs to decide, for whatever reason, that he needs help. The majority of “locked down “approaches fail because the drug addict is not part of the recovery. The only way a drug addict can generally fight against his addiction is when enough external pressure is applied to cause him to decide to quit. Several call this "the bottom". Nonetheless, there can be numerous bottoms. Obviously, certain are lower than others, but each can make an individual quit drugs. It only depends on what happens when the drug addict is there. For example, a drug addict is facing serious charges and is very scared. He will either have an intervention and go to rehabilitation or will get through this situation and be back out using drugs. In the final analysis, it is frequently the family who both spots the incident and utilizes it to achieve rehabilitation, or misses and waits.
