90% of people who struggle with an addiction never get help for it. As a family member, what can you do to help?

Believe it or not, the change starts with the members of the family. As a family member, you have more power, more leverage, more influence over your loved one than anyone. In this episode, Chris and Danny share the difference between an Intervention and a 12th Step Call and the best option that can work for a person who’s fighting addiction.

The Why Intervention Podcast is aimed at helping family and friends feel supported and encouraged that recovery from addiction is possible, for themselves as well as their loved ones. You'll hear how to affect positive change in their life and help your loved one begin a successful recovery. Host Christopher Doyle shares his insights, talks with experts, and interviews people who have gone through recovery.
