The intervention itself should be a surprise to the addict. One participant will agree to provide transportation to the meeting spot, which is usually a neutral location, such as a hotel conference room. Everyone who is participating in the meeting will be there and the specialist will begin the meeting with an introduction.

Once the introduction has been done, the participants will be asked to read their letters. This is usually done in order from the least influential to the most influential. After everyone has read their letters, the addict will be given a chance to respond. The specialist will guide the conversation and try to get the addict to agree to go to treatment. The good news is that the majority of the time, people are moved to learn that so many people are worried about their well-being. They are often eager to comply because they feel so loved and cared for.

Interventions tend to go the smoothest when all of the arrangements for detox and rehab have been made ahead of time. The addict should be able to leave immediately to go to an Arizona rehab program. If there is any type of delay, it gives the addict too much time and they could change their minds and refuse to go later on.

An intervention can make such a difference and many people in Arizona have ended up going to rehab because of them.
