Can someone please tell me what alcohol intervention is?

A friend of mine wants to do this for her mother. I don't really know what this is and I want to be able to help her. Can someone enlighten me?

Answer:
Alcoholism intervention happens when you want to convince an alcoholic to undergo treatment. You can seek the help of professionals, called intervention specialists, and they are the ones who will facilitate a group meeting of family members, friends, and sometimes, even the employers of the patient, to convince her to stop drinking alcohol and get herself treated. You can call 800-559-9503 for more details about this. Good luck!
It means sitting down with an alcoholic and confronting them about their alcoholism, telling them that they need treatment, and usually providing ultimatums if they do not seek treatment.
tell to contact aaa
The friends and family of an alcoholic confront the person and tell her how bad her alcoholism is and how it is hurting her and everyone else. This ends the denial of the alcoholic and hopefully makes her go to AA or get treatment. It is a good idea to have someone from AA there, too.
Ok see an intervention is something where a WHOLE bunch of people from all around to talk about the same problem.Like go seach around for them.They could be at a gym,park,social places,etc.
Although a small percentage of people are able to recover from alcohol addiction without intervention, the majority of individuals addicted to alcohol need assistance. With intervention and support, many individuals are able to stop their addiction to alcohol and rebuild their lives.
