As I rolled out of bed at 3:30 am I staggared to the coffee pot to wake myself, somewhat, before staggaring to the bath tub for the full wake up call. There are those people who wake up at that hour because they have to go to work even though they might not want to and there are those who wake up at that hour because they appreciate morning, my Mother falls into this category of people, and there are those of us who rise to shine because we are driven by purpose.
I am of the latter group. I am a drug interventionist. I have dedicated my life to helping those who cannot help themselves.
Why? Because I spent a great deal of my life unable to help myself overcome addiction.

As an Intervention Specialist I encounter so many families who are struggling to make a choice for treatment. Correct and useful guidance from counselors that are available to actually spend some time with you is key.
I have done my research let me tell you and what I have discovered about the programs available within these United States is staggering. For the most part available programs are some semblance of 12 steps in some obscure way. And yes, these type programs do work for some but not for all. Which leads me to the point that you must find the right program for each individual or you could be suffering through an addiction with your loved one for a very long time. As long as they survive, while they are addicted, the family suffers as much if not more than the addict. Watching someone you love slowly destroy themselves could be the most painful thing a family ever witnesses.

get to do it. The reasons why are within the following text and the
lesson here to learn is that your past follows you where ever you go
and within whatever you do.
