An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by family and friends to get a family member, friend, or loved one to seek help for an addiction or other similar problems. When one has tried everything possible to inspire or convince their loved one that they need help, but they will not admit into a program, an addiction intervention program is a successful tool in helping you help your loved one escape from the grips of denial, rationalization and projection.
By approaching them from a place of love and compassion, with help facilitated by a addiction interventionist, you will be helping them understand the problem that they have and that a treatment program is needed. Using a professional interventionist will not only ensure that you have taken the appropriate approach, but will also give you peace of mind knowing that you have expressed your love and concern in a professional, impacting, and very effective manner.
Addiction Intervention Process
An intervention is a very strategic process that must be facilitated and properly executed by an addiction intervention specialist to ensure desired results. In order to effectively perform a substance intervention, an intervention team will be established and then thoroughly prepared with the information required for attaining success. All parties involved will understand the purpose, process and techniques of the intervention.

My brother-in-laws daughter is an admitted alcoholic but even though she has OD’d 3 times, she refuses to admit drug addiction. She has agreed several times to seek help but when it comes time, she makes a million excuses why she can’t go, right now. I think she is 36, she was strikingly beautiful but now is looking worse and worse, every time I see her. I have tried to get her to seek help, as I have just over 2 years of total sobriety but she just keeps weaseling out of it.
I would like to know what an estimated cost for your services would be and how long it would take to get to the intervention.
Thank you

I need help
I need help with my 39-year-old son who lives in NY. He’s a Legal Secretary at a prestigious Law Firm in NY, having received a BS from Columbia just 3 or 4 years ago. He was a recovering meth user when he enrolled into Columbia and finished in 4 years, so I know he can stay off of drugs. In the last 12 months, he’s attempted suicide by taking GHB and Meth. 4 times. 3 of those times are within the last 30 days. He’s also on depression meds since March 2018 because he had to have part of his Aorta replaced due to an infected aortic aneurism. His relapse happened within 6 months of that surgery. However, he relapses, then sleeps for weeks at a time and I don’t think he takes his depression meds. He calls out for help and they just send him to the mental institution instead of to a long-term rehab. He wants to do better and I know long-term rehab can help him. He’s in a mental hospital right now, admitted on yesterday. He’ll probably be there between 1 and 2 weeks. Please help me give him a chance.
I was hoping that there was a more intimate way to reach out to your program. But, I wanted to say thank you so much for what you do. I lost my dad due to drugs. He is no longer with us, it was not an overdose. I have watched almost every episode of Intervention and I honestly have so much respect and faith in all of the people I’ve seen accept your help. Even the ones who leave treatment and go back. I wish that we had this opportunity to help my dad. What you are doing is inspirational and so good. I’m thankful for people like you who are trying to get addicts the help they need.
I have a friend that I love so dearly,she is the daughter of my best friend. She has been in a 30 day rehab, thats all her ins will cover. She has tried AA but to no avail, She is really a narcart addict. Ive been in AA since 1986. She has beg for help several times but she backs away. She needs desperate help. Her mother will help but her brother, her mothers son all blame her for Danielle problem, They all are such problems. I will do anything to help her as well as her mother. I will say her mother enables her at lot. All i can say is please help her. There is not enough money except her insurance UHC. I cant beg enough to help her please. Can u help her she needs it so badly. She is nasty, except for me, but she is out all night, her brother and uncle have taken away so much as far as the house, no refrieg at all, they took the car, oh my godness now they are saying Kim has 45 days to get out. Her mother Clair is very sick in hospital, memory loss, etc. There is so much more to tell you but i cant explain it all, THe boys say that if Danielle gets straight they will change things around. Which does not make sense to me at all, They are rude, nasty and blame Kim for all of this. Please her her and her mother. I will be there for all of it. It seems to be a little confusing and lying from somebody. I think I know who but not 110% sure. Again I need your help please.
My stepdaughter is 25 years old. She is currently addicted to meth. She may be doing other drugs also, but meth is the only one we are aware of. She is extremely thin, she needs help. She has lost custody to her daughter who is 5. She was one of the best moms when she first had her daughter, but then met a drug dealer who eventually became her boyfriend. He died from an overdose. She needs help or she will die. Please help!
