An addiction intervention is a process that aims to get the addict agree to undergoing treatment. This could be done by gathering his close friends and family members and talking to him, making him see the harsh effects of alcohol on him. In some cases, professionals, called intervention specialists, are made to facilitate the intervention as they are adept at handling cases like these. I think you should definitely do an intervention for your friend. Talk to him and make him see that alcohol has changed him and that it’s not doing him any good. Hopefully, he’ll see your point and get himself treated.
