a Certified ARISE® Interventionist, and member of the Association of Intervention Specialists.

Hi, I'm Ashley Gaede—

My work is grounded in personal experience. Having overcome addiction myself, I understand the fear, confusion, and heartbreak it brings. I empathize with both the person struggling with addiction and their loved ones—and aim to realign everyone onto the same team. I'm grateful that my firsthand journey led me into the addiction treatment community, where I’ve found both my calling and a true sense of purpose for my own recovery journey.

As a professional interventionist, I help families and professionals move from crisis to clarity using the ARISE® model for interventions and my own signature approach to Concierge Case Management.

I believe intervention should be compassionate, not confrontational—focused on support, structure, and honest guidance. Whether you're navigating treatment options, managing the complexity of family dynamics, or simply trying to figure out the next right step, I’ll be there to help you through it.

"I love being able to help families, like my own, out of the darkness and hopelessness of addiction. I love even more when these families turn around and offer hope to another family."

My Philosophy

I believe the greatest success in long-term recovery comes from a holistic approach—one that supports the mind, body, and spirit of the individual, while also guiding the family or network through their own healing. As a Certified ARISE® Interventionist and  I follow the ARISE® model for Invitational Intervention® with every client I serve. 

This model isn’t just compassionate—it’s backed by real results. Studies show that over 83% of individuals enter treatment within three weeks of beginning the ARISE® process. Within six months, that number rises to 96%. And after one year, 61% report being free from problematic substance use or behaviors, with another 10% showing reduced use.

Addiction doesn’t just affect one person—it impacts everyone in their orbit. That’s why I work closely with families and networks from the very beginning, offering education, structure, and support through every stage of the process. I encourage loved ones to recognize that their recovery matters, too.

My team and I are here to help clients and families navigate the path forward—whether you're facing chronic relapse, complex recovery needs, or a high-functioning professional lifestyle. No matter your background or circumstances, I’m here to help you take the next right step with clarity and care.

defining successs

Success in the treatment industry is often perceived as simply getting a person of concern to commit to treatment as quickly as possible. I personally believe that true success transcends personal accomplishments to encompass the holistic and sustainable wellness of an entire family or network. Holistic wellness within a family extends beyond physical health to encompass mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Addiction is a family disease that often causes distrust and disconnection between members of the family or network. We work together to shift the dynamic within the family system. Often what begins as a conflict between an individual struggling with addiction and their loved ones shifts to collective effort to battle the addiction. Success is woven from threads of mutual support and shared growth along the journey of recovery. Therefore, it is not merely about individual achievements, but about the collective well- being of each member of the family network.
