Should a family intervene with an alcoholic relative or just not get involved?

I was listening to an interview with one of the people involved with the A&E show intervention, the producer i think and he said that they have a really successful rate of alcoholics who remain sober. I think he said out of the last 170 they had an intervention with 90 stayed sober. Me I am I a 'recovering' alcoholic before I got treated for Bipolar Disorder and I've been sober since so its hard for me to think that intervention is the answer and I think that not getting involved and letting an alcoholic reach bottom does benefit some best than if they intervened but figuring out WHICH people is the problem if that makes any sense. I think the problem is codependency and on the A&E Intervention show they do say that an alcoholic's closest family suffers from the disease too because they often support the habits to either keep the persons approval or to just not admit theirs a problem, so on. I do genuinely think that most people want help but I just think that alcoholism works through stages where your more ready to accept it and intervention is the most effective then eliminating relapse. Maybe the actual intervention really does not matter but maybe the support from family afterwards, what do you think ensures an alcoholics sobriety?
