Intervention Application

Over the past few classes we have been watching numerous addicts battle their addictions. As we have watched we have learned that the addict is almost always triggered by something to start their usage and usually it was out of their control. Tell me some of the most frequent triggers seen and how seeing them and the havoc they caused affected you. Do some research about the trigger you have chosen and does research support your assumption of triggering substance abuse or dependency. What are you going to do to make sure you don't make the same mistakes in your future family or even now in your own life. Give me at least 2 and your action steps.
