Illustrating the Possibility of Recovery: Intervention AE and Intervention Services |
|
Intervention AE Intervention AE is a television show that illustrates the reality of an intervention. The show highlights various individuals suffering from compulsive behaviors such as drug addiction, alcoholism, an eating disorder, etc., and records the intervention that these individuals’ families stage. The show exposes the difficulties associated with such a process, but also offers a sense of hope to audience members who may be going through similar situations. Intervention AE illustrates the possibility of recovery. These examples of addiction and recovery can be seen in the lives of so many and Intervention AE can be exactly what someone needs to act. Intervention Services The intervention services employed in Intervention AE are similar to those found at many professional intervention companies. These services include the profiling of treatment options available, assistance in developing a plan of action, pre-intervention meeting(s), intervention facilitation, the treatment admission process, post-intervention free consultations and post-treatment services. Employing these services will be advantageous to the intervention as they will structure the entire process in a professional manner. Incorporating love, emotion, encouragement and support with these more structured services is doubly beneficial, and extremely important to the success of the intervention. Crisis Intervention A crisis intervention may utilize similar intervention services, however it also requires additional services such as psychological first aid. A crisis intervention targets individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or individuals at risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder. Typically, these individuals have suffered from a traumatic event such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, a natural disaster, attempted suicide, violence, etc. These traumatic events can have an extremely destructive impact on an individual’s life, and therefore should be addressed immediately. Crisis intervention services generally should involve a professional, and include psychological first aid, survivor needs assessment and empathetic support, and recovery intervention. |
