The ARISE method is a hybrid intervention model that uses direct and indirect strategies. In this intervention, the entire family receives counseling in order to create a healthier home environment. If the person who is abusing substances agrees to get treatment in rehab, the family continues therapy to ensure everyone in the household contributes to maintaining a healthy home that helps their loved one stay clean and sober.
Sometime people who have addiction problems are forced into treatment in order to avoid serious consequences like losing their children or going to jail. Other times, they may need convincing from loved ones to enter treatment. An intervention is a formal technique that the friends and family members of an addicted person can use to get their loved one help. During an intervention, a group of people speak to someone addicted to drugs or alcohol about their behaviors and how they have affected everyone. Then, the group tries to convince the addicted person to enter rehab.
