When a friend or loved one is engaged in a pattern of substance abuse disorder, an intervention is often a necessary step in helping that individual to begin a program of recovery. Whitney Jones is an Interventionist from Sober Life Services that can facilitate this important meeting in a safe and respectful manner to encourage your loved one to seek the help he/she needs. Whitney Jones will help guide your family long after your addiction intervention – offering a minimum of six months of extended support for the entire family and loved ones alike – helping to pave a tailored path for recovery for all involved.
Often, a person who is involved in a self-destructive pattern (for example, an alcohol or drug addiction) will be resistant, reluctant, or in denial about addressing his/her addiction issues. An intervention mobilizes a group of concerned friends and family to meet with the identified patient in an attempt to convince him/her of the need to enter treatment in a caring yet firm manner. In many cases, this action (taken by a group of caring, loving individuals) is sufficient to overcome the denial and enable the patient to recognize his/her need for treatment to enter into a recovery program.
Family and friends may be concerned about saying/doing the wrong thing, and equally concerned that the identified patient may refuse treatment. Whitney Jones with her MSW possesses the knowledge, experience, and skills to organize and facilitate this meeting, adding weight and support to the cause of the intervention on behalf of all concerned individuals, and respectfully communicating with the identified patient about his/her destructive behavior and the need to enter treatment. The assistance of the interventionist and the method of intervention used increases the probability that the intervention will be successful.
Whitney’s experience draws upon the most effective and compassionate addiction intervention strategies to ensure your loved one experiences the least stigmatizing, most personalized, whole person-approach to healing and wellness.
The approaches to intervention that are used include:
Each person’s story and circumstances are unique. This is why we tailor each addiction intervention to the needs of the client and their loved one. We practice trauma-informed responsive interventions, offering our clients the expertise, guidance, and oversight of a master’s level social worker as well as the tools and structure to the recovery journey.
We offer a trauma-based approach to addiction interventions. This approach is rooted in the belief that addiction is often an outcome of unresolved trauma. Trauma-based addiction treatment focuses on understanding how addiction and substance use disorder develop in individuals who have experienced traumatic events. It provides insight into the underlying causes of addiction and arms your loved one with the skills they need to cope with emotional pain. This approach is incredibly powerful in helping people overcome their addictions and create a more fulfilling, balanced life for themselves.
At Sober Life Services, we understand that addiction and intervention can be difficult subjects. That’s why Whitney and her team are here to provide compassionate support and guidance throughout the entire intervention process. We believe in a family-based approach to addiction treatment that involves loved ones and professionals working together towards the same goal—to create a safe healthy environment where addiction interventions can be successful. With the right alcohol/drug intervention plan, your loved one will be able to learn how to cope in healthier ways and take back control of their own life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction, hope is on the way. Take action and reach out for the help and support that addiction interventions provide. It may be one of the most difficult steps in recovery, but it can also lead to the greatest freedom. Together we can get through this and take back control of our lives.
