Addiction Intervention Inc.
For Hope, Help, and Healing

Has Addiction or Mental Illness
Taken Over Your Family
and Your Life?

Are you:

• Centering your life around a loved-one's dangerous behavior?
• Unable to remember what it feels like to relax and have fun with your family?
• Worried sick" - but aware that worry alone doesn't solve anything?

When you are so overwhelmed by worry and other emotions that you can't see a clear path, it helps to have someone on your side who has "been there" - and who knows that there is a way out, that you can learn to manage problems that once seemed too difficult to handle.

Success in the first year of treatment is at least 50% higher when the family is involved.

At Addiction Intervention Inc we put the focus on family recovery through assessment, referrals, treatment program coordination, and above all, family support and education that lets each member find personal balance and freedom, breaking the intergenerational reach of dysfunction.

With a strategic plan, you have concrete ways to confront fears and find practical ways to deal with them. Instead of beating yourself up because you haven't been able to "save" your loved one, you learn how to

• face problems without taking them personally
• understand the addiction/illness
• move from loyalty and denial to encouragement and trust
• support your loved one truthfully and honestly
• plot a course for recovering yourself and regaining your life, spontaneity, and joy

Move From Chaos and Confusion
To Hope, Power and Connection

A focus on family recovery moves you out of the "blame game" into honest, trusting communication so you can respond to each other with love and compassion.

Specific principles and processes bring clarity and resolve to situations that used to fill you with fear, confusion, and uncertainty. Instead of living in the shadow of sickness, second-guessing everything you say and do, you can take new action and interpret the results realistically. No more magical thinking, obsession, or helplessness.

At Addiction Intervention Inc., I'll show family members how to take care of themselves and work as a team, in accordance with values that are important to them. From personal experience with intergenerational addiction and recovery, I provide the focus that lets you utilize your resources for dealing with the issues you face. I can help you.
