While every addiction intervention is different, a “typical†intervention starts with a concerned friend or family member calling a local treatment center or doing a quick internet search to get some information for their friend or loved one.The concerned individual contacts a skilled member of our staff who conducts a brief and confidential survey so they can get the caller in touch with one of our interventionists. Sometimes the caller gets in touch with the interventionist first (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) and then is directed to contact our office between 9 AM EST (East Coast) and 5 PM PST (West Coast) Monday through Friday.Our staff will send out a complimentary packet of addiction intervention information to the caller by email, fax, or regular mail.The concerned individual discusses their concerns with our addiction interventionist and together they work to determine options and formulate the best course of action.If an addiction intervention is called for, the friends and family prepare for the intervention by reading some information and writing some letters.The night before the addiction intervention, the participants (all except the dependent individual) gather at the interventionist’s hotel for a 60-90 minute intervention rehearsal. The majority of the time is spent familiarizing the group to the process and going over the participant’s letters.The interventionist facilitates the addiction intervention and then escorts the individual to the treatment facility.
