If you need help with an addiction intervention, you may wan to start with a consultation and strategy session. Many families dealing with an addicted loved one aren't sure what to do. They're not sure if they need to do an intervention, but they know they need to do something. For them, scheduling a consultation with one of our clinical interventionists will help. We'll get into the history of the situation and help develop a strategy to move forward.

Love First Intervention 14/03/2024

Working Together Works
Love First intervention starts with the basic premise that working together works. Great accomplishments are not achieved alone.

Vince Lombardi, the famous football coach, pointed out that individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

It also makes a family intervention work. The group has more power than any individual.

‎It Takes a Family 09/11/2023

“Structured Family Recovery is a program of action. It is therapeutic, but it isn’t therapy. It supports Twelve Step recovery for alcoholics, addicts, and family members, but it isn’t AA or any other Twelve Step group. Like PHPs, it supports ongoing recovery—designed so that every member of the family contributes to preventing relapse, healing the whole family, and building trust. Through structure and accountability, a new outlook emerges.”
