| Intervention is a process in which we help you to come
together as a group from a loving and respectful place to
help someone who is suffering in their life from addiction, depression, eating disorders, compulsive gambling or sexual
compulsivity.
Our process is designed to provide a window of opportunity
for treatment, recovery and change. Not only in the effected
person but your family as well.
Treatment will help you to rediscover your life, inspire and
give hope where hope has been lost to fear, desperation and
anger. Intervention can be preventative as opposed to a last
resort as the result of a life threatening crisis, physical
harm, legal issues, divorce or termination from a job.
No interventionist can or should promise you that your loved
one will enter treatment. No matter how difficult the case,
we will promise you that this will be an opportunity for change,
for hope and for a second chance at your life.
We believe that the addiction or compulsive behavior is just
one symptom of this illness and that entering treatment to
address the underlying issues is what works… A promise
to stop with out formal treatment is never long lived and
often is just another failed attempt which continues the vicious
cycle of anger, frustration and additional loss of hope.
As a recovering person myself for the past 20 years and working
in the field of addiction and recovery for over 18 years I
understand first hand how the addicted person and the family
is affected. Addiction and depression will not go away itself
because of a promise out of desperation, or a plea from an
act of shame or a legal confrontation, it is an illness that
left untreated is destructive to family and children and is
life threatening.
We believe that entering treatment gives the suffering individual
and your family an opportunity to focus on themselves with
as little distraction as possible, to regain clarity and emotional
strength to fight for a new life, an opportunity that will
never exist while addiction is active. Addiction robs us of
self respect, good intentions and hope. The treatment centers
that we work with are ones that we know and trust and offer
a family program to help recovery to begin on the outside
so a patient will enter a healthier environment upon discharge.
Our promise is to be there for you before during and after
the treatment experience, and to continue to guide you and
your family through early recovery. Intervention should be
thought of as the beginning of a process and not a onetime
event.
