Our team of professional interventionists and intervention counselors helps families of loved ones in New Jersey and Nationwide who need help recovering from drug addiction, alcoholic and mental health disorder concerns.

Families in New Jersey calling about their loved ones often face limited resources. Intervention companies are not as readily available and easily accessible as one would assume. Interventions require family education regarding dysfunctional family systems, codependency, enabling, addiction, and mental health education. Families who only seek to have someone talk their loved one into treatment without addressing the factors that exacerbate the problem often find themselves in the same boat shortly after their loved one promises to go to treatment or returns from treatment.

Like most states, New Jersey faces a fentanyl and mental health crisis. Along with methamphetamine use and alcohol use increasing in New Jersey year over year, families and substance users often do not know where to turn. Addiction and mental health treatment are not as simple as checking into a treatment facility or outpatient clinic. If the environment that prolonged the process is not addressed, chances are excellent that history will repeat itself. Families are not directly responsible for drug addiction, alcohol problems, or mental health disorders. That said, we find that families often contribute to the problem unbeknownst to them by the way they attempt to repair the situation. For some families, inaction can be worse than trying nothing at all.

Addiction and Mental Health Intervention Resources in New Jersey.

Families told that nothing can be done until their loved one asks for help, wants help, or hits bottom could be left hopeless and helpless. These statements have some truth, and the solution is much more significant. When searching for interventionists in New Jersey or elsewhere in the nation, many people often stumble upon treatment center websites. Anyone who has called a treatment center has probably heard the comments above, and families can give up after many attempts for answers. Telling people their loved one has to want help, ask for help, or hit bottom and offering no solutions can send families into a waiting game. Local therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and doctors in New Jersey are neither interventionists nor equipped to handle the scope of a professional intervention. Addiction and mental health disorder interventions have many moving parts and require a team of professionals. Suppose the family is only interested in someone talking their loved one into treatment. In that case, they need to look no further than their local Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meeting hall for the members to provide a 12-step call free of charge.

Addiction and mental health problems are more significant than just quitting drugs and alcohol or dialing in your mental health medication. To treat addiction and mental health, we have to look at everything. If the addict, alcoholic, or loved one with a mental health disorder is the only part addressed, then we are missing a big piece of the puzzle. Whether the family is in New Jersey, somewhere else in the tristate area, or anywhere else in the nation, resources for full-scale intervention companies with an entire family curriculum are scarce.

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.
