[QUOTE="donna723, post: 166320, member: 1883"] The thing about the "Intervention" shows ... the family and friends are usually giving the person some sort of ultimatums like, "If you do not go to rehab, I will withdraw all financial support", or "If you do not go to rehab, I will no longer allow you to live in my home, take your phone calls", etc., etc. They let the person know in no uncertain terms that if they choose to continue destroying themselves, they will withdraw their support and they will be totally on their own - their world as they know it will come to a screeching halt and the family will no longer support or enable them! And even then, it only works if the addict himself truely wants to make the change. [/QUOTE]
