How do you lead an intervention for someone addicted to meth?

Question by Sharon C: How do you lead an intervention for someone addicted to meth?
I have been nominated by a group of friends to lead a pre-intervention, intervention. We are not writing letters are hauling her to rehab, we just want to let her know that we know what’s going on and we want her to stop. What do I say?

An intervention is a great idea – because it’s less mentally invasive to the addict than throwing them in rehab with strangers.

As the leader of an intervention, you are responsible for the introduction – when you sit her down tell her “We all love you and care about you and we want to help you stop this unhealthy habbit. We’re all going to do whatever we can to support you and keep you focused on recovering and stopping drugs.”
I think most interventions then lead to each person inputting their own personal message to the addict about how they feel about the person – about the times they miss having with the person sober – and instilling the sense of support/concern.
Also, you should, as the leader, think of ways to physically help your friend. Propose to start spending more time with her. Do some recreational activities, watch movies, go to the gym, take up a hobby with all your friends.
Lastly, make sure all of you keep her away from an unhealthy environment and others who will ruin her getting sober. Your friend needs a support system with a plan to remove her from the drug – and that’s the best thing all of you can supply.
Best of luck!
