OR
2. They aren't ready but agree to go to treatment because they feel forced into it and end up relapsing afterward.
Very few seem to deny they need help, agree to treatment anyway, and then end up staying clean. So I guess my question is not so much how to get them help, but more about how to make them WANT to get help.
I am getting the same answers from pretty much everybody here, and while I really appreciate the input, it's pretty disheartening to hear, especially when there are kids involved.

Well really they are not ready for help. That's why it takes the family to get involved to make them go, and they realize they care.
They just had a special episode where they called back in some of the people and also had all 3 of the interventionists there.
anyways they said they have done like 94 interventions so far and 74 of them are still sober.
