Are you concerned about the drinking or drug taking pattern of someone you love? Does the behavior of someone in your family worry you? Helping people in situations like this is what we do best. We understand that it can be very painful and at times exasperating to deal with a loved one who is abusing alcohol or drugs. Usually, substance abusers are themselves unaware of the extent to which they have lost control. While we know them to be good people, we sometimes feel shame when considering their actions. This is the disease of addiction. Addiction is a very complicated situation. People who are not addicts, although they think they understand, in fact, do not. Addiction is not a traditional disease and, so, cannot be treated in traditional ways. There is hope. A well crafted intervention in the life of a substance abuser carried out by a loving family and facilitated by one of our interventionists can spare much suffering for all involved. We bring years of experience and the fruit of the body of research literature on addiction to bear on each intervention that we approach. Perhaps we can help.
At Interventions For Recovery addiction is viewed as a physical disease which can be medically treated. Addiction is not a mental or moral problem, or a disgrace.
