Knowing when a loved one has a serious mental health problem or addiction issue and  needs more help than you can provide is difficult to determine and scary to consider. Each troubled individual is different and one’s problems may fall on a spectrum from mildly erratic actions to major personality ch

anges. The common thread, however, is that those close to the afflicted person know there is a problem.

Addicts can be stopped. Through a well choreographed intervention with the assistance of an educational consultant, the bottom can be raised and the addict or mentally ill person can find sobriety, stability, and happiness. Further, most individuals want to be helped, but they just don’t know where to turn or how to ask.
