The Team Approach to Intervention

Posted By on

The Intervention Experts’ Team Approach

When it comes to intervention for your loved one who is addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex or some other substance or behavioral problem, having two professional intervention experts is better than one.

With two highly trained, educated, dedicated, experienced and successful interventionists working with your loved one, friend, family member or business executive, you’re getting what you need…A team of professionals who expertly choreograph every detail of the intervention to ensure the patient gets into treatment in a calm, accepting and respectful manner.

When you have two professionals focusing on what’s going on in the life of the addict and helping the family members and / or company deal with the process, success is more highly predictable. While one professional focuses on the actual intervention process, the second is often working behind the scenes, arranging all the details from travel, treatment facility, day-to-day chores and delegating responsibilities during the patient’s treatment.

With a team, you can be confident:

  • Someone is always monitoring your loved one or employee.
  • Ensuring they get to treatment safely.
  • Communicating with the clinicians and staff at the facility.
  • Working with the family members to support the patient.
  • Helping with family challenges.
  • Recommending proper resources to help everyone support the patient.
  • Developing after-care and recovery-management plans.
  • Helping the patient get to necessary after-treatment meetings.

Darlis Mayes has been working with interventions since 1990 and is in recovery herself. She has been involved in a daily program of recovery and her own sobriety since 1989, which allows her to be empathetic of your intervention needs.

Dan Rowlands has been dedicated to his own personal recovery since 1972 and is familiar with multiple 12-step fellowships.

With these two professionals on your intervention team, you can be assured that the one best suited to work with the family and the addict will be there for you.

Since they each have two decades of focusing on their own recovery, you can be confident that they know how to help you get your loved one into recovery and help guide them to stay in recovery.
