During an intervention, if the intended patient is talking about anything other than accepting help, they are talking about not getting help. People with addiction, alcoholics, and people with mental disorders and dual diagnosis often make excuses not to advocate for their care. When families provide comfort or do nothing about the problem, it takes away loved ones’ incentive to ask for help and encourages them not to address it. People with these conditions do a remarkable job of manipulating others into believing what they believe. Addiction and mental health disorders are the only problems people can have when they fight to stay sick and convince their family and others to help them maintain the status quo through manipulation and other tactics. People with an addiction, alcoholics, and those with mental health and dual diagnosis lie to themselves to the point of believing their own lies. One of the things that makes people with addiction and mental health issues so convincing is their insistence that their lies are true. Having taken on maladaptive roles, family members live under the control of their loved ones’ manipulations.
“It is not a coincidence that the excuses families make not to intervene are almost identical to the excuses addicts, alcoholics, and dual diagnosis clients make not to accept help.”
Family First Intervention provides intervention and resources for families of loved ones experiencing a dual diagnosis, substance use, and mental health disorders. For more information, please check out our website family-intervention.com.
