Seeking Support For A Loved One?

What You Can Expect From Our Mental Health & Addiction Interventions

Start With A Free Confidential Consultation

At Addiction Interventions, everything begins with a private phone call. This first step is about listening—understanding what’s really stopping your loved one from getting help, and what’s preventing the family from taking action. Often, it’s fear, confusion, or the overwhelming weight of responsibility that leads families to feel stuck.

We work with you to uncover patterns of self-sacrifice—where your family’s needs have been sidelined for the sake of someone struggling with addiction or mental health issues. Our experience shows that real breakthroughs happen when families recognize how enabling behaviors can unintentionally keep their loved one trapped in addiction.

This is about shifting the dynamic. You don’t have to keep losing yourself to protect someone who isn’t getting better. There is a healthier, more balanced way forward for everyone involved—and we’re here to help you discover it.

Understanding How Mental Health & Addiction Can Impact Someone

Most families step into the intervention process thinking they’re helping—providing food, shelter, money, or emotional comfort. But what feels like support can often prevent the addicted person from facing the reality of their condition. Our role is to help families see how these actions, while well-intentioned, can keep someone from experiencing the consequences that often motivate change.

We teach families to recognize these patterns and to understand why they exist. Enabling behaviors aren’t just about the addict—they’re often rooted in the family’s own desire to be accepted, needed, or at peace. This leads to dynamics where everything revolves around keeping one person happy, while the rest of the family suffers in silence.

Through education, we help families stop the cycle of codependency and begin setting healthier boundaries that lead to long-term healing for everyone—not just the person struggling with addiction or mental health challenges.

Begin The Intervention Process

An intervention is more than a conversation—it’s a full reset for the entire family system. We don’t just focus on getting your loved one into treatment. We walk with you through the emotional, behavioral, and psychological shifts needed to sustain recovery and rebuild healthier relationships.

Too often, intervention services end after the addict agrees to treatment. Not with us. Addiction Interventions is committed to guiding your family through what comes next—with structure, insight, and ongoing support.

Many families come to us after multiple failed treatment attempts. We help you understand why those efforts didn’t stick, and what needs to change this time. It’s not about trying harder—it’s about trying differently. Our process helps everyone involved reclaim their lives, establish healthy roles, and move toward a life filled with purpose, clarity, and peace.

Our Techniques

Different Intervention Methodologies

ARISE® Intervention

The ARISE® Intervention uniquely prioritizes an invitational, non-confrontational approach, involving the person of concern and their support network from the outset. This collaborative, gradually escalating, and family-centered method emphasizes compassion over coercion, leading to higher rates of treatment engagement and long-term recovery.

The Johnson Model

The Johnson Model of intervention is unique for its structured, often "surprise" confrontation where a prepared team of loved ones directly presents factual evidence of the addiction's impact. This method aims to break through denial by forcing the individual to face reality, with a pre-arranged treatment plan ready for immediate acceptance.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions you may have about our intervention process.

1. What’s the difference between a professional interventionist and doing it ourselves as a family?

While it’s possible to stage an intervention without professional help, the emotional stakes are incredibly high and the risk of it going poorly is real. A certified interventionist is trained to guide the process neutrally, manage defensiveness or outbursts, keep communication productive, and increase the chances of the loved one agreeing to treatment. They also coach family members beforehand on language, boundaries, and how to avoid enabling behaviors.

2. What if my loved one refuses help during the intervention — does that mean it failed?

Not at all. Interventions aren’t just about securing immediate treatment — they’re also about planting seeds of awareness, setting clear and loving boundaries, and beginning a shift in the family dynamic. Even if someone refuses help initially, many enter treatment days or weeks later after reflecting on what was said. A skilled interventionist will help you prepare for this possibility and support you in the follow-up.

3. Can interventions be effective for mental health issues like depression or bipolar disorder, or are they only for addiction?

Absolutely. Interventions are increasingly used to address untreated mental health conditions where the individual is in denial, resistant to care, or doesn’t see the severity of their symptoms. A qualified interventionist understands how to tailor the process for mental illness, including careful messaging around stigma, autonomy, and the complexities of mental health treatment.

4. Will hiring an interventionist guarantee that my loved one goes to rehab or gets help?

No ethical provider can offer a guarantee — but what an interventionist can offer is the highest possible likelihood of success, based on years of experience, proven frameworks, and a deep understanding of both addiction/mental illness and family systems. The intervention process also creates a roadmap for action, so that families aren't left guessing what to do if the first step doesn’t go as planned.

5. How do I know if it’s “time” for an intervention — what are the signs I shouldn’t wait any longer?

If you’re asking this question, you likely already have enough evidence that things aren’t improving on their own. Signs it’s time include repeated relapses, dangerous behavior (DUIs, overdose, self-harm), increasing isolation, untreated mental illness, manipulation or enabling dynamics in the family, or a general feeling of helplessness about how to help. An interventionist can help you assess the situation and determine whether now is the right time — and what options are on the table.
