Refusal of Drug Addiction Treatment

Do you know someone who has a drug addiction but is refusing drug addiction treatment? There are several reasons for refusing drug addiction treatment. Drug intervention is a way to convince addicts to get help.

  1. Drug Intervention

    • For an addict refusing drug addiction treatment, a drug intervention can bring about a moment of realization. You can host a drug intervention in order to convince your loved one to get help.

    Strategy

    • Let the addict see, feel and hear your concern about his drug addiction. Writing out your feelings beforehand is a good way to make sure you do not get over emotional during the drug intervention.

    What to Say

    • Sometimes the addict will be oblivious to her problem. Point to recent behavior that has been destructive to make the addict realize a problem exists.

    Risks

    • By hosting an intervention for your loved one, you can be putting your relationship to that person at risk. The addict refusing drug addiction treatment might get mad at you and as a result stop talking to you.

    Considerations

    • Convincing someone refusing drug addiction treatment to get help is not easy. Be patient and let your concern for the addict override any frustration the situation is creating for you.
