Alcohol Intervention

Addiction Consultant and Alcohol Interventionist Chris Suchanek demystifies interventions:

It is important for alcoholics to believe that they can stop drinking alcohol, this is often referred to as abstinence self-efficacy. Abstinence self-efficacy has been show to be negatively correlated with relapse (1); that means that the more recovering alcoholics believed that they would not drink alcohol the lower their likelihood of relapse was.

Helping your family, friend or co-worker with their alcohol addiction means telling them they you believe in their ability to stop. Telling them what you feel and think helps them believe that they can do it and is the essence of an alcohol intervention. It is not scary and it can work.

Client References

"I don't think anyone believes that there is a time when they will need the services of an interventionist. You're confused as to who to turn to for help when the person you love is in trouble. The moment you meet Chris there is a subtle process that begins. He asks important questions, listens intently and quickly gets a grasp of your unique situation. He meets the family and friends involved in the intervention and gets them to focus on the task at hand and help put aside any unresolved feelings of anger or uncertainty..."
