Our family was desperate to save our son, who was diagnosed with late-stage alcoholism. He was dying before our very eyes, and he himself had no idea. I contacted local crisis intervention in our county to ask for help and, in turn, was guided to Sara, and then Gia. For this, I am eternally grateful because it was the hard and consistent work of intervention, with Gia's unending support, that led our son to agree to go to an amazing facility called Caron. The intervention brought the absolute most valuable people in Chad's world to a place where he would be able to heal and grow physically and mentally. Intervention is an amazing guided opportunity to help the family gain help for their loved one. We were told by medical staff that, should he not receive care and begin the process of recovery, he might not live many more months. And with that intervention, he chose inpatient treatment. It has indeed been a journey, and with the treatment, along with boundaries established through intervention, we have our son back. This is a lifelong journey for all of us, but I can report that he is doing very well, and we feel our son is back. We are grateful to Interventions with Love, and Gia. Without intervention, he may very well be in the streets with not much chance of living. People care, Gia cares. Intervention was and is critical to save a loved one.
Start with the situation as it is.
You do not need to know whether your family needs intervention, coaching, treatment navigation, or long-term support before reaching out. That is part of the work.
