CAREFRONTATION
Carefrontation
is a distinct move away from the old model of
“Confrontation” that defined and stigmatized
the process of intervention for a long time. The
old model of interventions advocated the use of
shame to break down an individual and often left
both the addict and the intervention team participants
with deep emotional scars.
Carefrontation is different.
It is a clinical framework that is presented
in the spirit of love, care and concern. The
model operates under the understanding that addiction
is a disease and it assigns any negative behaviors
discussed throughout the intervention process
to the disease, not the person.
Carefrontation creates a safe
and supportive environment for the start of the
healing process for all intervention team members,
not just the addict, by opening up healthy communications
for the entire family system and establishing
a solid foundation through educating everyone
involved.
