"Together we re-build human life."

An Intervention creates that delicate moment where the addict finally feels safe, where he or she is surrounded by the people the addict loves, and who love the addict back. It is an intervention where the addict can see how their behavior has effected those around them. And it is right at the moment that the family presents a solution - treatment - and in just such a way that the addict can say "Yes, I'll go" without feeling shamed or forced.

Interventions are available for adults and adolescents struggling with substance abuse, alcoholism, chemical dependency and other addiction issues who may be resistant to treatment or are just too scared to ask for help directly. Often times the reckless behaviors the addict displays is a call for help they secretly wish someone would answer.

The intervention begins with the first phone call. By seeking help from a professional interventionist and arming yourself with knowledge about the consequences of co-dependency and enabling, you have already taken the first step to getting the person you love the help they need.

We will schedule several meetings by phone and in person with those loved ones who will be present for the intervention to provide education, answer questions and to discuss the best strategy for a successful intervention.

We will make referrals to appropriate treatment programs and prior to the intervention the admission to the chosen program will be scheduled.

Once the intervention takes place, I remain with the client until they arrive at the designated treatment facility. Treatment Escorts are my specialty and are advisable to assure a successful admission. Please remember, "physical withdraw" from certain chemicals are life threating and must be handled professionally.
