Hopefully, days and years of waiting for people to "hit bottom" are going to be replaced by assertive approaches to identifying, engaging and motivating people in need of recovery." - William White
  • I believe that to get long term results, an invitation to a family meeting is a better approach than, SURPRISE!  
  • Research shows that a less confrontational approach offers more than double the chance that a loved one will enter treatment or some kind of change process. 
  • There are 4 primary steps that outline the process, but the core of this method is FAMILY. When a circle of Family and Friends surround the loved one with the power of love and invite them to be a part of an overall family remodel, the results speak for themselves. The Family unit (both of origin and choice) is an adaptable, resilient change agent for the entire Family allowing the loved one to change course along with everyone else in the system.
  • In this approach the interventionist is NOT the most important person in the room. I believe that the family is inherently resilient and well-equipped to help and hope. I know that leverage exists in many shapes and sizes but bottom lines must be used sparingly. I needn't trap to treat someone in crisis. 
  • I meet families right where they are and build on their primary skills, authority and relationships. ​
* This process has been researched, created and inspired by my mentors, Brad Lamm and Judith Landau.

Why does this approach work?

This "Family” approach works because it focuses on the total picture and all of the people and dynamics involved. We do not single out the addicted loved one as “the problem” and we don't let labels and myths keep them from being held responsible for either healing the challenges or living with the consequences. They get to be unique, self-directed and responsible for their choices, just like anyone else. Most importantly WE NEVER ABANDON & WE NEVER NEGLECT.
