First, there are 2 main types of interventions: invitational and confrontational. Invitational: If an invitational model is used, the family invites the teen to a family meeting the next day. Once there, they invite their child to get help. Confrontational: In a confrontational model, the family does not tell their teen about the intervention ahead of time. Instead, the family (and potentially close friends) meets the day before to discuss what will happen at the intervention and review the letters they’ll read at the intervention. Then they surprise the addicted family member the following day.
What is the role of the parent during the intervention? We will instruct you regarding every step of the process. The intervention and transport team will brief you once again upon arrival at your home. Remember, we are there to assist and guide you throughout the intervention process. Will my child understand what is happening? Part of your role will be to introduce the intervention team to your child. From that point on it will be the responsibility of the team to explain to your child the transport, and to prepare them for transition into the program.
Build your case: The best way to dive into a conversation with your teen is to prepare your grounds and establish the point you want to make. What is the reason for this intervention? Why are you addressing this concern now? Being at his age, your adolescent may be defensive or may not want to open up on the subject. He may believe in his mind that there is no problem at all, and will not give you the entire truth as a result. He may try to talk his way out of it.
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. See extra information on Interventions and Therapy services.
Set a desired outcome and consequences: In order to have a successful teen intervention, you must first establish what a successful intervention would mean to you. What do you want to achieve from this conversation? What limits will you set if this end goal is not achieved. Make these goals clear to your son and to yourself. Start small– Do you want your son to stop binge drinking or smoking weed following your conversation? Do you want him to obey curfew, be drug tested, or join an extracurricular program? As he begins to follow these guidelines, you may consider encouraging therapy, or enrolling in a 12-step program, as an end goal.
