Our Team Provides Mental Health & Addiction Intervention Services to Families and their loved ones in Michigan
Our Interventionists, Intervention Coordinators, and S.A.F.E.® (Self Awareness Family Education™) Recovery Coaches help families in Michigan with a loved one who is an Alcoholic, has a drug addiction, or mental health disorder
Family First Intervention is a local and nationwide mental health, drug addiction, and alcoholic intervention company. When Family First Intervention first started, our location was in the Midwest. It wasn’t long before we received many calls from people nearby, such as in Michigan and across the United States. We quickly found out that interventionists were few and far between. You could not and still cannot find an interventionist like you can find a doctor or a dentist in your area. Due to the complexity of performing an in-depth intervention involving the entire family system, most families in Michigan and across the country could only retain a solo interventionist who offered the equivalent of a 12-step call from Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous. Families in Michigan and elsewhere realized they needed as much help as their loved ones. A solo interventionist that went over the do’s and don’ts of enabling with no ongoing family program was not helping them long term. Sure, they got your loved one to treatment, and then what? When you needed help and support after the intervention, the local person was nowhere to be found or could not respond to your needs quickly.
Interventionists need a team of people to assist families effectively. One person or even two cannot offer the energy and time required to support an intervention involving the entire family and the substance user.

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.
Family Intervention Services for Addiction & Mental Health in Michigan
Recognizing the problems, lack of family support, and the need for a team to offer services, we expanded quickly and nationally. Family First Intervention can now provide in-person interventions and our ongoing family recovery program in Michigan and Nationwide. Many families do not even know what it would be like to be happy again. Some of them accepted the way things are and have adapted to the new abnormal. It doesn’t have to be this way. With our intervention services, we can help families move from a life of uncertainty to a life of normalcy. We can provide interventions, family support, and resources in Michigan and nationwide. Families, substance users, and those struggling with mental health in Michigan can benefit from our S.A.F.E.® (Self Awareness Family Education™) Intervention & Family Recovery Coaching Program.
Family Support and Post Intervention Guidance Available Nationwide
Whether you, your family, or your loved one is in Michigan, any intervention team member can participate in our program. Our S.A.F.E.® (Self-Awareness Family Education®) Intervention Services Family program is provided online in a structured module system. After their in-person intervention, families who engage in this program find that they do better and can make the necessary changes that allow their loved ones to embrace and engage in their recovery.
“The most formidable challenge we professionals face is families not accepting our suggested solutions. Rather, they only hear us challenging theirs. Interventions are as much about families letting go of old ideas as they are about being open to new ones. Before a family can do something about the problem, they must stop allowing the problem to persist. These same thoughts and principles apply to your loved one in need of help.”
