PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION TRAINING

We provide intervention skills training for treatment professionals and other students of intervention. Based on the original Johnson Institute intervention design, our model is modified to fit today’s advances in treatment and the ever changing profile of the substance abuser. The presentation and workshop will provide a hands-on approach to planning, organizing and facilitating the successful structured intervention. Our training is experience-based and participants will both learn the theoretical framework of the intervention process and participate in an "actual" intervention. Training Session is usually completed within six to eight hours and can be tailored to your individual and program needs.

Summing it up

From intervention to recovery

THE ENTIRE PROCESS, INCLUDING AN INTERVENTION, TREATMENT IMPLEMENTATION, TREATMENT ENGAGEMENT AND TREATMENT DISCHARGE PLANNING. THE START OF BOTH TREATMENT AND EDUCATION FOR THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT AND CONSULTATION SERVICES FOR ALL PERSONS AFFECTED NEGATIVELY WILL PROVIDE A POSITIVE IMPACT THROUGHOUT THE INTERVENTION PROCESS. THE INTERVENTION IS SIMPLY ORCHESTRATED ON A NON-CONFRONTATIONAL MANNER THAT FACILITATES A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME. PARTICIPANTS THESE COULD INCLUDE FAMILY MEMBERS, COLLEAGUES, EMP0LOYERS, AND FRIENDS. OR IT MIGHT INVOLVE JUST 3 INDIVIDUALS, THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT INCLUDED. THE INTERVENTION PROCESS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE TO MOVE A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TO THE BEGINNINGS OF A LIFE OF RECOVERY. WHILE EVERY FAMILY/CORPORATION IS DIFFERENT, OUR TOTAL CONTACT HOURS IS ALWAYS UNDER 10 HOURS--A SMALL INVESTMENT FOR A FAMILY OR BUSINESS DESTROYING PROBLEM.
