Overcoming Denial

The Process

The Reality

OVERCOMING DENIAL

The greatest obstacle to treatment for the chemically dependent person is denial. One way to overcome denial is through intervention. Guided by specialists at the Spencer Recovery Centers, family members, friends, employers, and significant others learn how to deal with the person and the disease by breaking through denial. They learn how to shift the emphasis from blame on the dependent person to positive methods of responding to the individual’s addiction. Working together, the counselor and the significant others help the dependent person view his or her illness through the devastating effects it is having on others. It is then that a decision is usually made to seek treatment. The intervention process works. Most chemically dependent people, who undergo intervention, make the decision to enter treatment. That is their first step toward recovery.

THE PROCESS

Intervention is a process that is 90-95% successful in confronting (with love and compassion), the alcohol or drug dependent individual on the severity of their disease. Family members, who exert an influence on the dependent’s life, and a Counselor gather together and present facts and data related to the chemically dependent’s problem and consequences. The process of intervention is designed to smash through the dependent’s rigid denial defense mechanisms and break through to reality.

THE REALITY

The reality- That they are dying of a disease that is chronic, progressive, fatal, incurable, and, if left untreated, that can result in premature death. This disease is called Chemical Dependence.
