Interventions for Families and Their Loved Ones Affected by Mental Disorders, Alcohol, and Drug Addiction
We understand the impact of addiction and mental health on the family.
Rock Bottom is not something you hit; it is something you feel. Families are often told that not much can be done until the substance user wants help or hits rock bottom. We are here to help your family understand that you don’t have to wait for the substance user to do either of those things.
When Your Family has Reached Rock Bottom
You Don’t Need Permission to Ask for Help.
It is difficult – if not impossible – to see the situation from the stage. A clearer understanding most often comes from the view in the balcony. The intervention process helps families see from a different perspective.
Being emotionally attached and overwhelmed can compromise the ability to find successful solutions. An unbiased professional is able to see things much differently. Here are some effective approaches.
Why You Need a Professional Interventionist
The desired outcome of the intervention process is that regardless of your loved one’s decision to accept or refuse help, the family will understand how to cope and navigate either outcome.
How Our Mental Health Disorder/Dual Diagnosis, Alcohol, and Drug Addiction Interventions Work
Initial Consultation
The initial phone consultation seeks to identify what is keeping your loved one from wanting help, and it is intended to help the family overcome their fears and behaviors that may be holding them back from taking action.
Our goal is to listen to your story and see how our experience and expertise can help you identify why your family may be sacrificing their needs in exchange for ensuring that someone else’s are met.
Successful interventions often come about as a result of the family recognizing how they have put off living the life they want in exchange for enabling a substance user to stay in his or her addiction.
Understanding why and how this happens is the first part of changing the family dynamic that is blocking the family’s and the substance user’s path to an otherwise better way of living. There is a way for both sides to take control of their own lives rather than surrender to the needs of the other.
Educate Family About Addiction, Mental Health, and Dual Diagnosis

We Escort Your Loved One To Treatment
An intervention is not about how to control your loved one with a substance use or mental health disorder; it is about learning how to let go of believing you can.
Experienced Intervention Counselors Are Here to Help
In order to provide families and the substance user with effective solutions, a team approach is a necessity. Our experienced team works collaboratively, and each member builds on the strengths, knowledge, and motivation of others. We all have different experiences and varying degrees of education that we can bring together. No one person can accomplish these goals alone.
Many interventionists try to play therapist and clinician while adding on family recovery and coaching services. None of these interventionists is qualified or licensed to do that. Interventionists must stay in their lane after the person accepts help. The best outcomes come from your loved one’s treatment team and the treatment center’s family program. If you choose an interventionist who offers support services after a successful intervention, it will create friction and discrepancies in your loved one’s treatment; we have gone down that road, and it does not work.
