Supporting and working with your family or business to prepare the selected group and review the steps and process of preparing for the intervention. This is where the group members need to get completely be honest and remember that an intervention is not place to solve all the family conflicts, it is for the family to share their concerns and asked their addicted person to get help. This is not to say that the family, friends and employers have not being affected by the patient behaviors.
