Bradford Health Services – Successful Crisis Intervention Techniques – Recovery Moments While blame and anger do not belong in the same room as a crisis intervention, explaining how someone’s addiction is hurting not just him or her, but also others, can be an important component. The goal of addiction crisis intervention is for the addict to sincerely agree, and genuinely commit, to treatment. Many addicts either don’t see how their behavior is affecting themselves or they don’t care because they have a drastically reduced sense of self-worth. Seeing how much they mean to other people, and how much they’re valued by those in their daily lives, can be incredibly powerful. While addicts can get tunnel vision and operate in selfish ways, as a rule, they don’t set out with the intention of hurting those around them. Witnessing genuine worry, sadness, and hurt on the faces of those they care about can be a powerful motivator. A crisis intervention revolves around the concepts of love, concern, and honesty. It offers support that someone doesn’t want, convinces someone to admit a truth they don’t want to see, and encourages someone to take a step forward while all he or she wants in this world is to stand still…even if that means being left behind. Thank you for watching this short video and taking the first step to build a solid foundation to recovery. A foundation built on knowledge, love and compassion. We want you, your family and friends to live a life free from addiction. A life full of Hope. Help is out there. Don’t miss the opportunity …
