Customer Reviews

Intervention
This book is short, concise and to the point. Anyone interested in the process of intervention; especially those who do not want it, will greatly appreciate this book. Full of great wisdom and gives hope to those who feel no hope in trying to help those who are suffering from addiction.

Intervention: How to Help Someone who doesn't want Help
A must read for anyone who has someone in their life that has the disease of addiction. There is not a lot that can be done to stop someone on their destructive path but a well run and meaningful intervention can be very powerful. It can help them on the path to see reality and take the first step to recovery.

Was hoping for better
I was looking for a book that would help with a family intervention for health issues. I found this book some what helpful; it did outline the mechanics of the process in the second half of the book. The first half was primarily about the psychology of a substance abuser.
