Your path to recovery from addiction emerges from the hope that life can be better. Yet, finding the path and moving forward can sometimes be overwhelming. Helping you start that journey in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate way is my goal. You may be questioning if you or a family member really has a problem with alcohol or drugs and to what degree or you need more information and support yourself.

Intervention
is a loving & respectful, yet firm & organized, presentation of compelling facts by family, friends & colleagues who have personally seen a clear and destructive downward spiral caused by substance abuse in a loved one.
Often families, friends & colleagues will find themselves questioning options & even feeling they have tried everything to help someone struggling with alcoholism/addiction & mental health issues. The long standing belief that a person must reach rock-bottom before they will accept help is a distracting & dangerous lie. There is a way to intervene & create a safer rock bottom & help create a healthier life for ourselves as well as our loved one struggling with the addiction. The clinical
intervention
process has proven overwhelmingly successful in bringing about life-changing experiences for everyone involved in the

We provide
intervention
, care management, sober companion, and family support services.
We work with both individuals and families who've found themselves in crises due to addiction to substances. Our clients come to us with one thing in common; that traditional treatment or models of recovery have not had long-term success yet. We've found that we work best in situations that are seemingly hopeless, where the motivation to change is low and severity of risk is high. Addiction is a baffling illness which requires creative and authentic approaches to find successful long-term outcomes. Our ideal client or family is only required to have one thing, just an ounce of willingness to get better.

Our lives are continually evolving and changing. We carry with us tools, strategies, behaviors and ways of coping with the variety of challenges, shifts and changes we experience, feel and encounter. Some of the ways in which we think about ourselves and interpret our experiences support us and work well for us, some did for a specific time and no longer do, and some of these thoughts/behaviors didn’t support us at all, are unkind, and we find ourselves acting against ourselves.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
