Arizona Intervention for Rehab and Treatment

Professional Addiction Interventionists in Arizona

When someone that you love is addicted to drugs or alcohol it can be a very difficult time. As you watch them dwindle under the effects of substance abuse there may be a time when you just want to walk away. However, a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol may not even realize that they have a problem and it is during this time that they really need the most support from their family and friends.

An intervention is a structured, well-planned, personalized process where friends, family, and/or co-workers come together to break through the denial of a person who is struggling with addiction to alcohol or drugs or any other type of compulsive behavior. An intervention is completed in an environment that will maintain the respect of the person suffering from the addiction while avoiding patterns of blame, shame, or resentment.

Arizona Addiction Facts and Stats

Before learning more about how an Arizona intervention might work, let’s first look at some of the facts and statistics from SAMHSA and CDC that show how big of an issue drug and alcohol abuse is in the state of Arizona.

Admissions Data from Arizona Treatment Centers

A quick look at admissions data from the treatment centers in Arizona will show you the substances that plague the state the most. According to a report from the National Institute of Drug Abuse, these substances were the main reasons for admissions at treatment centers in Arizona:

  • Alcohol
  • meth
  • morphine and heroin
  • marijuana
  • other opioids
  • Cocaine

Alcohol is and remains the number one reason that people enter rehab. One of the reasons for this is because alcohol is cheap and readily available to almost anyone. Reports have also shown a rise in the number of people addicted to opioids as well.

While marijuana use is fourth on the list, it has been found that pot has a higher rate of lifetime use than any other drug on the list. In addition, it was found that over 40% of high schoolers in Arizona have used pot at least once.

The state of Arizona has a higher rate of drug and alcohol abuse when compared to the national average. There has been a steady increase of admissions to treatment centers for drugs such as heroin, stimulants, marijuana, and other opiates. As a result of this, there are more drug induced deaths in the state than deaths by car accidents. All of these stats indicate that there is a great need for quality drug and alcohol intervention and treatment programs in the state.

Why Early Intervention is Important

When a person begins using drugs or alcohol on a regular basis it is important to get them the help that they need rather quickly. If you suspect one of your friends or loved ones is abusing drugs or alcohol, enlisting the help of a professional for an intervention is recommended.

A professional interventionist will be able to help you set up an intervention that is more likely to be successful. These professionals can recognize the signs of a drug or alcohol addiction and facilitate an intervention that is organized, helpful, and most of all respectful to the individual who is addicted to a substance.

It is important to get your loved one the help that they need as quickly as possible. The earlier the addiction is confronted, the better chance a person has to recover. In addition, a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol can spiral quickly. This means that they may go in a downward spiral quickly and end up in an emergency situation at any time.

Know Someone with an Addiction? Need Help with an Intervention?

At Desert Cove Recovery we offer help with interventions. If you know someone who is struggling with an addiction and you are ready to confront them about their drug or alcohol abuse, our team at Desert Cove Recovery is here to help. A consultation can take place either in person or over the phone and may include several friends, family members and colleagues.

During the intervention process it is important to remain respectful to the individual who has the addiction. One of the hardest steps for many people who suffer from addiction is admitting that they have a problem in the first place. The intervention process is designed to help a person realize that they are struggling and that they have a support system in place to help them through these issues.

Once a person can admit that they have a problem with addiction, the process of healing can begin. Desert Cove Recovery offers referrals for detox centers where a person can receive medical care while they are going through the detox process. This is important as there can be many side-effects associated with addiction.

Once detox is complete, Desert Cove Recovery offers a complete recovery program for individuals suffering from addiction. Our staff will work directly with your friend or family member to come up with a plan that is personalized to meet their specific needs. Our holistic approach to drug and alcohol rehab will treat the mind, body, and spirit and help a person recover from their addiction in the healthiest and most supportive way possible.
