Intervention

My question is do interventions work? My A is 36 years old. He was raised by his mother and grandmother. MY A and I were seperated for a month, we just got back together if you can call it that. He said the night we started talking again, that he needs to know that I will be there for him, even if he slips and has a drink. I said I would and I would also work with him to be sober again. Well since that night he has drank every night. For at least one year he was sober, but since I left him and he had job issues, he has fallen off the wagon.
I spoke to his mother the other day and she thought of two things, we do an intervention with 3 family memebers and myself and 2 AA people, or she shows up with his father to talk to him. Mind you his father is an A and was never there for him. He always says how much he hates his father, but I just can't believe all the things he hates about him, he has become.
I guess my question is, do either of the above work?????

Thanks for listening...
