What Makes Us Different and Special:
"Getting the dependent to treatment is only part of the goal. I help the rest of the system see the ways they've unwittingly been complicit; the ways they've enabled and to change themselves which will have profound impact on their loved one. In other words, to focus on their own respective recoveries. I've been doing Intervention for 27 years, having pioneered it in the NW and taught Intervention process at Seattle University for 7 years. I see better than 90% of the time, the dependent chooses treatment."
What Advice Would You Give to Prospective Clients:
"Set up an assessment meeting (pre-Intervention) to explore options. This is a time to define the problem, meet each other and look at possible options, strategies and treatment possibilities, to see if an Intervention is necessary or appropriate. Be pro-active."
Overview of Practice:
"Work with family and friends (co-workers,etc.) to train and facilitate comprehensive Interventions. I stay engaged with the entire family/friend system starting at pre-treatment, during treatment and concluding post-treatment."
What Special Training Does the Staff Have:
"Seattle University Addition Studies Program - completed 1977. Johnson Institute model of Intervention. Speare/Raiter Invitational model of Intervention. Arise model. Storti model. 29 years of continuing educational credits related to addictions."
