Addiction and Family Programs

Let Me Do the Heavy Lifting

Participating in an intervention with a family member who suffers from addiction is hard enough. Let me handle the "nuts and bolts" of planning and coordinating so you can focus on recovery.

First, I help you get clear emotionally and mentally, so you can feel confident you are offering all you can to assist your loved one.

Motivational intervention encourages individuals in crisis to seek help after friends and family -- in a loving, non-confrontational way -- present their concerns and support.

Addiction and family programs create an opportunity for family members to offer a solution and allow, not force, the individual to accept help.

Then, I'll organize and walk with you through the four phases of an effective addiction intervention:

Assessment and Coordination: Who, where, and when
I develop a client profile, recommend the best treatment center for the client, and help families make clear plans for intervention.

Preparation: Making this intervention a success
Everything that will help the client understand how important it is to take steps now, including logistics for travel to the center.

Intervention: Stepping into recovery
Last-minute planning, then meeting the client to ask for admission today.

Post-Intervention: Support when you need it
Debriefing,coordinating between the family and treatment facility, and a clearpath for getting through the early days of treatment.

Recovery Doesn't End When Your Loved One Leaves the Treatment Facility

. . . and when the family takes care of itself, it makes a difference in how long recovery lasts.

I explain the whys and hows of recovery to keep you on track as you re-establish healthy family relationships. I can steer you towards the workshops, intensives, and individual therapists that will best support every member of the family.

With me as a resource, no one has to feel alone or insecure while learning new ways to relate with those they love.

Health Comes in Three Flavors: Physical, Mental, and Emotional

Effective addiction and family programs provide a clear plan for intervention, treatment, and ongoing recovery.

When you summon the emotional courage and mental clarity to speak the truth with love, you can help the person in crisis to take the first steps toward healing. Then, in treatment, the physical condition improves, paving the way for new ways of living and communicating.

You can't help anyone else until you help yourself.
