Seeking Support For A Loved One?
Our Techniques
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
