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 has a mental health disorder.

Family First Intervention is a local and nationwide mental health, drug addiction, and alcohol 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 who 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.

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. 

Initial Consultation

Our process starts with a phone call to our office. When the family agrees, we move to a family consultation call. We begin the assessment phase after the family has approved the intervention.

Arranging the Treatment Plan and the Logistics for the Intervention

The next step is arranging the treatment plan and the logistics for the intervention. Upon arrival, our interventionist utilizes our S.A.F.E.® Intervention and Family Recovery Coaching manual as a guide.

Face-To-Face Intervention

The following day is the face-to-face intervention with your family, the interventionist, and your loved one. Regardless of the outcome, your family will move into our S.A.F.E.® program for guidance and support. The S.A.F.E.® curriculum consists of weekly family meetings with several support groups offered throughout the week. One-on-one support is available and reserved for families actively engaged in our meetings and support groups. Families are assigned homework assignments to work on goals and process the work they do for themselves outside of the S.A.F.E.® curriculum.

Outside Work for Families

The outside work can include Al-Anon, Families Anonymous, CoDA, A.C.O.A. meetings, marriage and family therapy, and individual counseling. We also encourage families to participate in hobbies and self-care activities. The S.A.F.E.® Addiction and Mental Health Intervention Services and Family Recovery Coaching program is designed to help families take their lives back, regardless of whether their loved one agrees to accept your gift of a second chance at life.
