Intervention
A meeting organized by the significant others of a person with a substance use disorder to express their concerns for persons' well-being and demand change. Significant others can include immediate and extended family members, friends, a physician, an employer, coworkers, a religious advisor, and neighbors. Meetings are usually facilitated by a mental health or substance abuse professional. An intervention can help the person with the substance use disorder see the serious nature of the problem and the need for change. (Join Together)
