When should an intervention be instituted?

Question

Please give any examples other than drug/alc addictions. Could it be used for a potentially negligent attitude where someone could get hurt if their thinking is not changed?

Thanks all~

Answer 1

Obviously gambling and child abuse are two that come to my mind. Child abuse requires mandatory reporting by anyone that works with children.

Answer 2

I think that any behavior that is destructive to the person or their surroundings invoke an intervention.

Answer 3

when they only want the drugs and alcohol at any cost to them
