WHY? WHY? Intervention has been around for a long time now. I've worked in the addiction and recovery field for almost 20 years and I continue to see the epidemic of addiction escalate but, even more, I've seen time and time again the deteriorating family and their increased intensity of codependent behavior and their blind contribution to this soul sickness....often unbeknownst to them. Since addiction is a family disease, we must deepen our understanding that the family needs rescue almost, if not more so than the addict. There are many, many programs being utilized effectively and efficiently for individuals with substance abuse and chemical dependency issues but there is a gap that continues to widen as addiction and codependent behaviors intensify and gain considerable momentum in the wrong direction.
