By "intervention" - I'm not saying this would be a very public matter - it could be handled privately - maybe by those closest to the individual. If the individual in question absolutely states there is no problem, at least an effort that could be verified had been made.
I've unfortunately had to participate in a few interventions, mainly for alcoholism. But, I've never seen one conclude with absolute denial. Biggest piece of advice is make sure a professional either trains or is present with you in the intervention - because Rudey raises some legitimate concerns if it is not done correctly.
My main point: if a known problem with an individual is not dealt with, or worse, ignored, then the fallout will affect everyone.
