The 4-Step Addiction Intervention Model

---

This crucial phase is about gathering information and preparing a tailored action plan. It sets the stage for everything that follows.

What Happens:

• Detailed Intake: We conduct a confidential, in-depth conversation with the concerned family members to understand the history of the addiction, the current crisis, and the unique family dynamics.
• Pre-Intervention Team Formation: We help select the family members and friends who will participate, and then educate them on their specific roles, establishing clear communication boundaries.
• Clinical Vetting: Based on the assessment, we objectively identify and secure a place in a highly suitable, clinically appropriate Australian treatment facility before the intervention meeting even takes place.

The preparation phase is where we empower the family and eliminate all logistical barriers to treatment. We ensure the family is emotionally and practically ready for the day.

What Happens:

• The "Script": We assist the family in drafting letters of concern, love, and commitment, which are essential for communicating support and establishing clear boundaries during the meeting.
• Logistics Management: We arrange all necessary travel, admission paperwork, insurance checks, and funds. When the intervention is successful, the transition to treatment must be immediate and effortless.
• Rehearsal and Coaching: Our specialist coaches the family on intervention techniques, communication styles, and how to respond to common emotional reactions, ensuring the meeting remains compassionate, structured, and goal-oriented.

This is the facilitated meeting where the prepared family presents a unified front of love, concern, and a ready-made solution for treatment.

What Happens:

• Facilitation by a Specialist: Our certified interventionist leads the meeting, ensuring the tone remains focused, respectful, and productive. They manage the dynamics, mediate distress, and keep the goal of treatment acceptance central.
• Presentation of the Solution: The family delivers their letters, and the specialist presents the carefully chosen treatment option. This removes the opportunity for delay or negotiation.
• Immediate Transition: Upon acceptance, our specialist facilitates the immediate travel and admission of your loved one to the pre-arranged treatment centre. This rapid movement is critical for preventing second thoughts or relapse.

Our partnership does not end when your loved one enters treatment. Long-term recovery relies heavily on the healing and support of the family unit.

What Happens:

• Family Coaching: We provide ongoing counseling and coaching for the family to help them process the intervention, heal from past trauma, and establish healthy, sustainable boundaries.
• Relapse Prevention: We work with the family and the treatment centre to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan, which may include sober companions, recovery coaching, and follow-up support services for continued success after residential care.
• Reunification Guidance: Our team is available to help guide the family through the complex and delicate process of reunification once the loved one completes treatment.
