After an intervention in Colorado, treatment placement and follow-through come next. Here's how our process supports your family once your loved one says yes.
What happens after intervention Colorado families go through starts the moment your loved one says yes, and in our process the team moves straight into treatment placement coordination and follow-through. The intervention is one conversation, and the support after it carries the decision forward.
Addiction Interventions is a Joint Commission Accredited company that serves clients in all 50 states, Colorado included. Our certified interventionists travel to your location, and our process doesn't end when the conversation does. David Gates, CIP, our Lead Interventionist, has personally led more than 1,500 family interventions, and the steps below come from that work.
Our process has four phases: a free confidential call, family preparation, the intervention itself, and ongoing support. Once your loved one agrees to accept help, you're in that last phase. The team handles placement coordination and follow-through during treatment and beyond. Placement gets discussed during preparation, so your family isn't searching for a program on the day someone says yes.
Your role changes at this point. You're no longer persuading anyone, so you can hold the boundaries you set during preparation and stay in touch with your interventionist as treatment begins.
Placement starts with what your loved one is dealing with. The treatment program's own clinicians make the final call on level of care after they assess your loved one, and our team coordinates that handoff so your family isn't comparing programs alone in the middle of a crisis.
Co-occurring conditions change the picture. We provide dual diagnosis interventions for people who need integrated support for mental health and substance use together, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Before you choose a program, ask whether it treats both conditions at once and who runs the mental health side of care. If you want a second source on how to evaluate a program, the federal SAMHSA treatment locator lists licensed facilities you can compare against what your interventionist recommends.
Recovery doesn't happen in isolation, so our work focuses on the whole family. Our preparation coaching covers what to say, what to expect, and how to set loving but firm boundaries, and those boundaries stay in place after your loved one enters treatment.
If you want to know how that applies to your household, ask when you call.
The team doesn't disappear once the intervention concludes. We stay with the family through treatment and beyond, so if something worries you, you can call someone who already knows your situation.
Bring specifics when you reach out, such as what you've seen and when it started. A clear description helps your interventionist advise you on next steps.
It's a structured, calm conversation led by a certified specialist after the family has been coached on what to say, what to expect, and how to hold loving but firm boundaries. The goal is to open the door to treatment. Our lead interventionist is trained in the ARISE method, the Johnson Model and Family Systems Intervention.
Talk with your interventionist about next steps, since the right move depends on your family's situation. The boundaries you set during preparation remain part of that conversation.
The team stays with the family through treatment placement and follow-through during treatment and beyond. When you call 949-776-7093, you speak directly with David, and you can ask how support would work for your situation.
Coverage varies by plan. Ask the treatment center's admissions staff to verify your benefits before placement, including what's covered at each level of care and whether pre-authorization is required.
If you're facing this in Colorado, you can call Addiction Interventions any time, day or night. The consultation is free and 100 percent confidential, and you'll speak with David rather than a call center. Our certified interventionists can travel to your loved one's location in Colorado.
