Intervention services

Professional addiction intervention for families and employers.

When someone you care about, or someone you employ, will not accept help. Our interventionists plan the conversation and line up treatment before it happens.

How it works

A plan, not a confrontation.

Call

A confidential conversation about what is happening.

Plan

We decide who should be there and what each person will say.

Arrange

Treatment is lined up so it can start immediately.

Intervene

The interventionist guides the conversation.

Follow through

Admission, then coaching and support for the family.

Family interventions

For parents, partners and adult children worried about a loved one.

Workplace interventions

For employers and unions when an employee's use affects safety or performance. Can lead into a monitored return to work.

Health professionals

For physicians, nurses and pharmacists, with a path into treatment and monitoring that protects their career and patients.

Common questions

What does an interventionist do?

An interventionist helps you plan, rehearse and lead a structured conversation with someone whose substance use is causing harm, with the goal of getting them to accept treatment. Treatment is arranged in advance so they can start right away.

Who arranges an intervention?

Usually a family member or an employer. Workplace interventions are common when an employee's substance use affects safety, attendance or performance.

What happens after they agree?

We arrange admission with one of our partner treatment centres, the same day where possible, then support recovery with coaching, counselling and, if their employer or insurer requires it, medical monitoring.
