Crack-Cocaine: Staging And Intervention For Addicts



When an addict is in dire need of help, a cocaine intervention may the most effective way to get that message across. Interventions offer loved ones the opportunity to present the truth to an addict about the damage that they have caused in people's lives. It is a chance to get the addict to accept an offer of rehab treatment.

Like any addict, a crack addict will stop their binge when they run out of options. This can mean that they are no longer able to gather the funds to pay for their addiction. They also may not be able to track down a source for drugs to fuel their habit.

When a drug addict is strung out, they likely have no desire to come home. They are often seeking their next fix. Addicts return home when the money has run out, a binge is over, and they need a place to stay.

They may also come home to try and gather financial resources from family members, or to steal money if necessary. They may also look into taking personal items and belongings to sell or pawn for fast cash.

Cocaine addicts, like all addicts, have become so dependent on the substance at the time of intervention that they may have hit their bottom. It is so difficult for friends and family members to put up with repeated and constant lies and manipulation. The only way to end the cycle is to offer an ultimatum.

A cocaine intervention provides the perfect setting for delivering an ultimatum to an addict. It is a chance to have their attention and show them just how damaging their addiction has become. In many cases, loved ones that have spent months or years enabling an addict also need to break free from their own addiction to being an enabler.
