The goal of Compassionate Interventions is to assist friends and family of those struggling with addiction to seek and engage in treatment by using a strength-based intervention process. Addiction can include, but is not limited to; drugs and alcohol, gambling, sex addiction, pornography, internet and shopping. Compassionate Interventions makes it a priority to be at the location where the intervention is to occur as soon as possible. Usually the same day, or the next day. Our philosophy is that every minute counts when it comes to dealing with drug and alcohol use. We tailor our interventions to fit the situation at hand.
Compassionate Interventions also serves families, individuals, and groups by building a therapeutic alliance. Structural Family Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical-behavioral therapy, and a Strength-Based approach are our philosophies. If you are concerned, but unsure, that someone you care about may be struggling with addiction here are some common signs:
-
Individual will engage in addictive behavior regardless of legal, social or professional consequences. ie; criminal action, loss of job, consistent performance issues at work, minimal engagement with friends and family, ect.
-
Individual will give up social functions and/or hobbies to engage in addictive behavior.
-
Individual engages in addictive behavior that puts a strain on their personal relationships.
-
Individual engages in addictive behavior consistently over time.
-
Individual will suffer consequences as a result of addictive behavior such as; loss of sleep, poor hygiene, erratic moods, lethargy and/or extreme hyperactivity.
Compassionate Interventions also provides individual and group counseling either in person or by telephone.
