Here is a step-by-step
approach to how the Texas Intervention Referral process works:
1. Contact Texas Intervention Referrals
and talk with one of our trained staff members.
2. Set up a meeting with an intervention
specialist during which you are able to discuss the history of
the person who needs the intervention as well as the
circumstances in which it will take place.
3. Before the actual intervention occurs, the
interventionist will meet with the family members and friends to
go over each person’s role in the intervention, as well as
helping those involved stay committed to their boundaries and
the consequences for the substance abuser, if he/she does not
follow through with the intervention.
4. Conduct the intervention. Often times it is
best for the intervention to take place somewhere that is
familiar to the individual. Because the situation will already
be awkward and uncomfortable, our intervention specialists find
that the individual’s house, or house of a close family member
is often ideal.
5. After the intervention has taken place, the
Texas interventionist will continue to spend time with the
chemically-dependent (assisting him/her in initial detox if
necessary) and provide transportation to an arranged-in-advance
treatment center.
