With The Confidence Of Research, A Loving, Gentle,

For Whom
When someone needs help, but won’t go, together those who care
have the power to motivate the loved-one into treatment. Whether for a spouse, friend, executive,
sibling, child, partner, coworker, or another loved-one, we provide family solutions for addiction/compulsive
problems. We offer five
strategies of
family intervention and the
How
There is no need to be harsh or abrupt. Our approach is always gentle and loving,
addressing compulsive and self-destructive behaviors, including gambling and
eating disorders. With the confidence of research, we help bring the caring and
concern to a specific focus on the
problem behavior. Collaboratively we guide the process, tailoring
the strategy to the needs of the loved-one and the individual family. Though the preparation period varies, it
typically involves three
to six sessions. In almost all cases, the loved-one goes
directly into treatment.
As the Johnson Institute
recommends,
experience has shown that
intervention is best done
with professional
facilitation.
Do Not Wait
Compulsive and addictive patterns continue to
worsen with devastation for the entire family.
Sensitivity
Sensitive, personalized, professional
literature-supported adaptations are provided that respect the diversity of
cultural and ethnic background, gender, orientation, developmental
disabilities, and needs of the loved-one, including the elderly. Staying true to the critical
research-grounded principles of effective intervention, the process is adapted
for your family and loved-one’s needs.
Strong Support
Continuing
support and counseling are available for families while their loved-one is in
treatment. This supports the family with
their needs, but also helps the loved-one stay in treatment. Increasingly, families also enter our Family Recovery Program with their loved-one
after treatment. This provides the
support to mend and recover, together.
Results
In
almost all cases, the recipient of the family’s love and caring immediately
enters treatment. As shown in research,
those entering treatment through an intervention process are often more
successful than those entering by many other means, even self-referred. Just
as important is the care we provide to support the personal and emotional needs
of family and friends. We support the family until the person is in treatment;
not flying away after two days, like out-of-town interventionists.
