Substance Addiction Ministry (SAM) - INTERVENTION 101

Special Speaker: Linda Couch - If you have a loved one who suffers from the disease of addiction and you don't know what to do to help them, maybe it's time to do something that's never been done before. The SCB SAM group has invited Mrs. Linda Couch, an interventionist with Longbranch Healthcare to come educate us on interventions. She describes below what we can expect to gain with the knowledge of what an intervention is. Addiction is a family disease, and it affects everyone in the family, and the whole family can benefit from some help. For a suffering addict it's a very hard decision to seek out treatment. Unfortunately, denial and the disease itself can stop people from getting help. "Rock Bottom" is a term used often with addiction, but intervention can help someone get into treatment without hitting a "Rock Bottom."
