How to Talk Rehab
Approaching the Person
The first step is to talk about it with the person. But in what way? Maybe several attempts were already made. All you got were arguments, heated discussions and denial. It is very frustrating! There are ways to approach the person that proves to be more result-oriented. A family member or friend can follow these guidelines to reach someone.
Of course, when the person’s life is at stake, one would use more hefty methods, such as a coordinated intervention. Many private treatment centres have intervention services that facilitate families’ efforts to help. Interventions can be emotionally packed, so having a professional present is important.
