eXECUTIVE iNTERVENTIONS
Life can be very hectic for an executive. There are constant demands to reach objectives, lead the team, get the sale, serve the client…and the list goes on and on.
Life is just one deadline after another. And the rewards of a career—salary, bonuses, promotions—are based on what that executive accomplishes. Lots of people (especially business professionals) base their sense of self-worth on what they do. So, it seems logical that whatever helps them get things done is a good thing. That’s true, but only to a point.
Executives need drive, ambition, intelligence, and skillfulness in managing time, budgets and staff. All these things can help them, and their organizations, prosper. But what happens when the race to accomplish more and more causes an over-burdened executive to turn to drugs or alcohol to cope?
While it may seem to help smooth out the rough patches and keep things moving forward, sooner or later drug abuse brings the world crashing down around them. Even when others can see the addict’s life starting to unravel, denial keeps him or her blind to the damage that’s being done to their own lives, the lives of those close to them, and the hopes and dreams that were once so important.
Chaos replaces control. It’s clear to others that things need to change, but the addict is unwilling or unable to recognize the problem. How can change happen in circumstances like this?
You—the spouse, family member, friend or co-worker—may think there isn’t much you can do. But the truth is, you can help bring about the change that may literally save that person’s life.
Welcome to Executive Interventions. We’ve been helping people in your situation for years. You’re concerned about someone you care for. You want to help. But you’re not sure what to do.
We know what to do, and we call it intervention. This is a process of helping an addict understand the extent of his or her problem, presenting it in a manner they can comprehend. The objective is to help the drug abuser take concrete steps to end the chaos. Ideally, those steps include getting professional treatment for substance abuse.
Our approach has been developed specifically for executives. We understand their needs, their worries—even their excuses for putting it off. We know how to bring someone like this to a moment of clarity, where the reality of the situation has a chance to get through to them.
Things aren’t going to get any better without help. So call us. We’ll talk you through every step of the process and make all the necessary arrangements. The insanity of substance abuse can end. The person you care about can recover. All you have to do is make the call.
