Interventions

The purpose of an interventionist is to direct the untreated person to want help and to accept that there are consequences if they don't. This is accomplished by comfortably changing the family dynamic. The interventionist doesn’t just inspire your loved one to change; they are there to put the family back in charge with hope and direction.
