Addiction is expensive and, in the end, most of the cost is burdened by the family. In one way or another, money given to the addicted person goes for the purchase of alcohol or drugs. Addiction has the power to destroy a family. No family wants to be destroyed, so they often try to deny the problem, fearing the family will fall apart if the problem is faced. Addiction interventionists help drug addicts by intervening in a loving way to get them some form of help.
