We got the call 4 or 5 days ago. A man was looking for an Intervention for his wife. She was, according to him, suffering from acute depression and alcoholism. They had two young children together.
The wheels were set in motion for the Intervention to take place. Our Interventionist was contacted, schedules compared, and a date was set. Our man spent time on the telephone with each member of the family and the loved ones that were to be present. Each person’s script carefully reviewed, and each person carefully coached. An Intervention is an extremely emotional affair, and best laid plans can easily go awry.
Every thing was in order at rehab to welcome our new guest. The bedroom was fresh. There were flowers on the night table, and a name sign on the door to welcome a most likely very distraught woman. Special changes in plans were made as the Wednesday intake day was being changed to Thursday evening. Our other guests were looking forward to sharing their recovery journey with a new friend.
