Can I get free drug counseling through the state for my family? Our oldest has been caught using drugs and we have three younger children. How can I get them all into counseling?
There are two schools of thought concerning when is the correct time to
intervene with a person that is addicted. Many are advocates of the idea
that an addict/alcoholic must first hit "bottom". Unfortunately the
bottom for most addicts often includes devastating legal consequences or
physical harm resulting from their drug use or drinking.
We believe it is important to intervene as soon as it is apparent that a
loved one has a problem with drugs or alcohol. The majority of
interventions done by experienced drug and alcohol interventionists are
successful.
Why wait for a catastrophic event like an overdose, arrest for drunken
driving or felony conviction for possession to occur? The odds are
extremely high that they will.
Our experience is that no one who is addicted to drugs or alcohol is
enjoying their lives, they are truly unhappy and ashamed. When
approached in the correct manner by a trained intervention specialist
most are relieved to find that there is a way out.
Our interventionist are all former addicts/alcoholics with many years of
sobriety. They are also Certified Addiction Counselors. They know and
understand what the addicted person is feeling and thinking, having been
in the same situation at one time in their lives.
We take the pressure off the family by handling all the necessary
details to get their loved one safely into treatment.
