Addiction Intervention For Families

When your loved one is in crisis, you're terrified, exhausted, and probably making all the wrong choices without even realizing it.

I help families stop the cycle before it costs you everything—before the next DUI, the next broken promise, the next soul-destroying compromise that chips away at who they used to be.

Using the ARISE® method, I bring your entire family together to create a unified plan before approaching the person struggling with addiction. This isn't a surprise intervention or an ultimatum. It's about alignment—getting everyone on the same page about boundaries, consequences, and what actual support looks like.

Here's the truth: addiction thrives on family dysfunction. When one person is paying the bills while another pretends everything's fine, the disease wins. My job is to help you see where you've been participating in the addiction without realizing it, and to give you a clear path forward.

An intervention isn't just about getting your loved one into treatment. It's about ending the chaos, stopping the enabling, and creating real change for everyone involved.

How I work with families

My addiction intervention services include ongoing case management because getting someone into treatment is just the beginning.

Addiction is a chronic disease. Without continued support after treatment, relapse is likely. That's why I don't just facilitate the intervention and disappear. I stay with your family through every phase of recovery.

Here's what's included when you work with me:

  • Intervention planning and facilitation using the ARISE® method
  • Treatment facility research and placement coordination
  • Transportation and logistics to get your loved one to treatment
  • Regular check-ins with the treatment team while they're in care
  • Transition planning from residential to outpatient to long-term recovery
  • Ongoing family support and education
  • Crisis management if challenges arise

Our work together doesn't end when the person enters treatment; in many ways this is really just the starting point.  My job is to guide your family through the entire early recovery process—not just the intervention itself—so your loved one has the structure and accountability they need to stay on track, and so you know exactly what to do at every step.

But the reality is: more than 20 million Americans are currently struggling with addiction, and one of the hallmarks of this disease is denial. The person you love often can't see—or won't admit—that they need help.

That's where intervention comes in. Not as an ambush, but as a moment of clarity. A chance to show them the truth about how addiction is affecting everyone who loves them, and to offer a path forward that actually works.


When you work with me, here's what you get:

Someone who's been on both sides of this crisis. I'm not just trained in addiction intervention—I'm a person in long-term recovery. I know what it's like to be the one everyone's worried about. And I know what it takes to finally say yes to help.

A process that brings families together, not apart. Using the ARISE® method, we create alignment before the intervention ever happens. No surprises, no shame—just clear boundaries, honest communication, and a unified plan.

Ongoing support, not a one-time event. I don't facilitate the intervention and disappear. I stay with your family through treatment placement, transitions, and the critical early months of recovery when relapse risk is highest.

Your family is more than a statistic. 

How it works

The AGI
Intervention Process

You're not walking into this blind. Here's my step-by-step process from our first call to long-term recovery support:

Consultation and Contract

We talk through what's happening with your loved one—how long it's been going on, what you've tried, and where you are now. This conversation helps us both determine if we're the right fit and whether now is the right time to move forward.

I.

Family Intake & Treatment Planning

I call this family intake because your family is also entering a recovery process. This is where we select the treatment facility, make travel arrangements, identify who should participate in the intervention, and begin preparing for the Network Meeting.

II.

Network Meeting

I use the term Network Meeting instead of "intervention" because this approach is less confrontational than traditional interventions. Your family, friends, and loved ones gather to share compassionate, fact-based information with your loved one and invite them to accept help. Most people say yes during this meeting—but if they don't, we have a plan for that too.

III.

Treatment 

Once your loved one agrees to treatment, I coordinate with the facility and arrange transportation. I personally accompany them to ensure they arrive safely. Meanwhile, your family begins their own recovery process—learning how to support sobriety instead of enabling addiction.

IV.

Comprehensive Case Management

I stay in contact with the treatment facility, coordinate transitions between levels of care, and continue meeting with your family. We address challenges as they arise and prepare everyone for the realities of early recovery. This support continues for months, not days.


V.

A note on treatment facility  placement

I'm not affiliated with any treatment centers, which means I have no financial incentive to place your loved one anywhere specific. My only goal is finding the right fit for your family.

I've spent years building relationships with facilities across the country. I know which ones excel at dual diagnosis, which specialize in working with high-profile clients and executives, and which provide the structure needed for someone who's relapsed multiple times.

During our family intake session, we'll determine the best facility based on your loved one's specific needs—and your family's reality. Some clients need complete discretion and privacy. Some need specialized medical care. Some need a program that understands the unique pressures of maintaining a public profile. I match families with facilities, not the other way around.
