No, family intervention is not only a good idea, it is fundamental to help somebody to overcome addictions. Numerous studies have proven that having support from family and friends is key, not only to fight addictions, but also to prevent the addict from falling back into his/her addiction..
Family intervention is not only a good idea for those who have addictions, in some cases it is necessary for sucess. The family must first be willing to accept some responsability, be it past actions, enabling, or abuse. This is often the hardest part for a family to do.

Intervention - The Ultimatum?
intervention is a confrontational meeting of one or more individuals in an attempt to urge someone to seek professional treatment.When you ask the average person what he/she thinks an intervention is the usual response is pertaining to someone with an addiction to drugs. Most people do not realize that there are many other forms of mental illness which may require an intervention. Substance abuse is the most common reason for an intervention, but there are other addictions such as gambling, sex, hoarding, and eating disorders which require professional help. An intervention consists of a confrontational meeting where the family or friends of an individual gives an ultimatum to their loved one in order to get them to seek professional help. Interventions can be very effective if the family or friends involved have the courage to come forward and put their feet down to save the life of a loved one. If the interventionists remain strong the chances of the intervention being a success are greatly increased. On the other hand if they are weak minded and do not stand by their decisions the chances of their loved one suffering more is increased. In some cases death may be a real possibility. When giving an ultimatum to someone there is a thin line you must walk in order to successfully get your point across while making sure not to appear to be attacking the individual who needs help. Most people, especially addicts, will look for any excuse to leave the intervention. When they feel cornered or attacked they will go into a fight or flight mode. The best way to relieve some of the pressure from their shoulders is for you to try to explain how their behavior effects you. Avoid blaming them for anything, but let them know that they have effected you in a negative way. It is a good idea to have a professional at the intervention who can mediate and keep the confrontation from becoming heated. If you know someone who needs help have the courage to confront them.

What have historians speculated about European intervention in the US Civil War due to the Union defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run?
More than one historian has put forth the idea that when the Union lost the Second Battle of Bull Run, that European intervention was at a high peak of intervention. They argue that if Confederate General had not invaded Maryland but instead consolidated its forces, Great Britain and France may well have determined that it was time for intervention in the US Civil War. The hope of the Confederacy was, of course a proposal by Great Britain for intervention and soon formal recognition of the Confederacy.
