How can drug intervention help an addict?


Question:
What happens in an intervention and how does this affect the addict? I've been hearing about this, but I don't really know how it goes.

Answers:
An intervention is a process specially done to help someone who is substance dependent to realize what he is doing and help him recover from his addiction. This is done so that he could learn to accept treatment. Interventions can be done by family members along with close friends, but there are times wherein an intervention specialist is called on to facilitate the proceedings because an expert will be more adept at handling cases of substance abuse.
intervention is when friends of the addict have a 'meeting' (with him) and try to make him change his ways (through talking and support)

if it works the effect is that the addict will 'break' his habit

if it backfires (doesn't) the addict might do more 'bad' drugs/habits to 'retaliate'
