There are many approaches to performing an intervention.

1. The Johnson Model (surprise approach) by Vernon Johnson
Essentially relies on direct confrontation to break the cycle of denial and force the loved one into change.

2. Systemic Model ( invitational approach)
Focus is on the entire family inviting everyone to change. The loved one is invited to participate in a supportive environment. The family processes the addiction together and examines their respective roles.

3. Arise Model (invitational approach)
Designed by Dr. Judith Landau and James Garrett
Designed to support the family through a healing process using a gentle systemic approach. Success is found to be in the engagement of the family in the intervention process itself.

4. Field Model (James Mintz – for mental health intervention)
Knowledge based model that strategizes working with complex family systems that are facing “chronic lifestyle dysfunction”

5. Harm Reduction Therapy (DRT) focuses not on total abstinence, but the “less bad” theory. The aim is for the person to understand their relationship with their addiction, as well as reduce the social and personal harm they are creating in their lives and their families.

6. Breakthrough Intervention method (Brad Lamm)
The core of this invitational approach is the “family”. The family surrounds the loved one and invites them to change. The family unit is an agent for change that allows the loved one to change course.
