Our S.A.F.E.® (Self Awareness Family Education™) Intervention and Family Recovery Coaching Program can help your family or loved one with addiction or mental health struggles in Virginia and Nationwide.
Virginia and the rest of the country have many resources for addicts and alcoholics. There are many resources available for those who need mental health treatment, too. The problem is that the services your loved one needs may not be in your area, and if they are, they may not be covered by your insurance or affordable. Even with those obstacles overcome, are the services in Virginia too close to the environment where your loved one struggles? Will your family be able to maintain healthy boundaries while your loved one is being treated for mental health, alcohol, and drug addiction locally in Virginia? All of these questions are part of the intervention process. Interventions are not as simple as someone coming into your home to talk your loved one into treatment. Interventions require much more.
Family First Intervention is a team of professionals that understand the family needs at least as much help as their loved one. Any professional who only focuses on helping your loved one with treatment is not addressing the damage caused to the family by the behaviors of the addiction or mental health problems. Our S.A.F.E.® Intervention and Family Recovery Coaching Program has a full-scale curriculum to assist families after the intervention. From our intervention coordinators to our interventionists and family counselors afterward, we understand and see the bigger picture. It is not what happens at the intervention but what you will do after it.
Family First Intervention
Meet Our Experienced Addiction and Mental Health Intervention Counselors
Families of loved ones experiencing alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health concerns need help before attempting to help their loved ones.
One of the most significant challenges we face in Virginia is local one or two-person intervention teams helping families with DIY interventions. Not all of them do, and this is becoming a trend across the country, and we are seeing it more in Virginia and the surrounding states. Families who are vulnerable sign up for this service, believing somebody can empower them to do their own intervention for a small fee. Families can try to talk to their loved ones and, with any luck, help them see the need to check into treatment. Seeing the need to check in and checking in and following through are two entirely different outcomes. Where this approach will fail every time is when the family believes this is a solution for themselves, too. Nobody can teach a family or anyone else how to therapize themselves. Interventionists in Virginia who try to sell families how to do their intervention without a professional are doing a disservice to the family, their loved one in need of addiction or mental health help, and the profession. The whole purpose of an intervention is to help families after the intervention; it is not to teach them how to talk their loved one into treatment.
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.
Addiction and Mental Health Intervention Education for Families in Virginia and Nationwide
We would offer that service if we believed that a coached intervention would help you. Families must understand that the perceived problem cannot be the one offering the solution. Professionals hire other professionals in their expertise because they know the difficulties of being unbiased and emotionally detached when addressing something as delicate and volatile as mental health and addiction concerns.
Families and their loved ones need a professional intervention services team to help them before, in person, during, and most importantly, after the intervention. Through our S.A.F.E.® Intervention and Family Recovery Coaching program, we can assist families in Virginia and Nationwide after the intervention from the comfort of their homes. The intervention that occurs before requires a professional interventionist to be present to monitor and handle all volatility. In addition to the volatility, an emotionally attached family will find it impossible to communicate effectively with their loved one while being able to handle manipulations and objections. For families who only want their loved one in treatment, attempting a DIY intervention may be best for you. For families who wish to take their lives back, you need a professional intervention services team to help navigate the trials and tribulations that will come with the intervention process.
