Agreed. Interventions work on 'some'. But that is only ONE step in a process to get clean. You have to admit you have a problem. Then get help. Then make a commitment to remain clean.
The boo hoos are just one's step in that process.

interventions are really about getting the addict to treatment. Once in treatment its then completly up to that addict if he wants to do the work to get and stay clean and change his life
admitting you have a problem in an intervention scenario really will not come until after they enter treatment. many people who enter treatment via an intervention realy do so because a forced bottom is created by those in his/her life.
