Answer by darla n
The role of a drug intervention specialist is to facilitate a drug intervention for the drug dependent and his loved ones. An intervention specialist can also take charge of doing programs that will tackle issues about drug abuse in order for people, especially teenagers, to shy away from using drugs.
Drug interventions are done precisely to get the individual undergo addiction treatment.

they take all of your drugs and do them themselves so you can’t.
drug intervention is usually appropriate when the person on the drugs is in denial. Until the person freely admits he is a drug addict, no amount of drug treatment will help.
The intervention specialist can give you tests and then decide if they want to “help” you into different levels of usually expensive drug treatment. But you are right, going to an anonymous program can do just as well sometimes, or setting up an appointment with the treatment center of your choice directly is simply cutting out the middle man. I have been through treatment several times (before getting sober on my own through church and God) and trust me, there is no need for these specialists.
Because involuntary committing to a rehab center could do more harm than good in certain cases; how would you feel if you were just sober as a nun during one of your straight moments and a gang of police beat down your door, put you in handcuffs and hauled you away to the hospital? A situation like that could turn real deadly real fast, and an intervention specialist can help make a smooth transition from the drug life to the rehab center. Sometimes all it takes for the addicted party is for someone to grab them by the head, look them in the eyes and say, “HEY…you have a real f*ckin’ problem here, pal…we can do this the easy way or the hard way!” Given the choice, the addicted person will probably take the easy way if they see that they have no choice and will be more likely to NOT go back to their addiction if it is handled outside of a facility and they have a say in their treatment process.
Because the addicted person doesn’t want to go to rehab. He either doesn’t want to admit that he has a serious problem, or won’t LET himself believe it. The DI specialist conducts the intervention. After all friends and relatives who love him tell him how he’s ruining his life and those around him, and that he needs help to live, then the specialist steps in and says that he/she wants to take him right now to rehab. It’s a very important job. The parents tell him he’s shut off. No more money or food or shelter. It’s” tough love” and after he hears all his loved ones crying (they usually write their speeches down, but sometimes can’t even finish it.) Usually he gives in. It’s a rough thing, but it’ll save his. I hope I gave you what you needed. 🙂
