Intervention & Treatment Placement

What is an Intervention?

An intervention can be facilitated in a number of ways depedning on the condition and evironment surrounding ther person in need of help. For individuals suffering from a psychotic or thougth disorder and experiencing anosognosia, “there’s nothing wrong me” or struggling with a severe addictions condition, the tv model of intervention with someone showing up on the proverbial white horse fails as often as not. In these cases, settin hard limits and restricting resources is often a path we guide families down supporting their strength in holding the line so that the person turns to care. There are times when involuntary commitment is the gateway to much needed residential care.

In other cases, an intervention is a carefully planned process that family and friends are brought in on, working with one of our therapeutic professionals. In this approach our team guides families and friends through challenging times, helping them understand their unique situation regarding a loved one struggling with substance use and mental health conditoins. Unlike therapists or motivational speakers, the interventionist’s primary focus is to create a roadmap for the family’s recovery, clarifying behaviors and fostering understanding.

Our team is versed in a variety of intervention approaches including the Brief Intervention method, an integrated approach to mental health and substance abuse treatment. Substance use and eating disorders are often co-occurring with significant mental health conditions including depression and anxiety as well as other mood and even thought disorders as well as personality disorders.  

We also utilize the ARISE® intervention model, a compassionate invitational method that leads the loved one into appropriate treatment and recovery. The intervention is directed towards getting the affected loved one into treatment with the least possible effort through loving, compassionate and non-blaming support. The support system is mobilized to form a committed Intervention and family care team to motivate the individual into treatment.

Regardless of the intervention’s outcome, ongoing support is crucial. If the loved one declines help, we provide guidance for the family on how to manage this refusal. If they accept help, we assist the family in coping with transition and progress during treatment.
