An intervention is a highly structured meeting between an addict and their loved ones or co-workers. One, sometimes two, of our trained professionals facilitates this meeting. There are several goals to an intervention. Here are the most important.
- Let the addict know how much they mean to others and that they are worth saving.
- Motivate the addict to enter treatment and participate willingly in the recovery process.
- Educate the family about the disease of addiction and the recovery process.
- Encourage the family to participate in their own recoveries as well as supporting the addict in their recovery.
- Help the addict transition back into the family and work environments and sustain ongoing recovery.

Due to the wide array of interventions that we provide we combine key elements from the most effective methods of intervention to create a fresh and more versatile style of intervention. There are several styles of intervention, which have evolved since its creation in the 1960's, by Rev. Vernon Johnson. It is important to note, not all addicts are appropriate for the same style of intervention. One Model Does Not Fit All. Our interventionists utilize an eclectic approach and use the most appropriate in models to ensure a tailored intervention for each specific client. This is done to avoid trauma, volatile responses and ensure a positive outcome.
Our method of intervention is typically a two-day process unless the situation warrants otherwise:
- Day-One the family, friends, co-workers and interventionist meet. During the 6-8 hour session the family learns more about the disease of addiction and the intervention process. From the intervention team carefully plans the intervention.
- Day-Two the team meets with the individual they are concerned about to perform the intervention. Once the intervention is complete a designated family intervention family member, the interventionist or both with transport the individual to treatment.
