Intervention Services

If you need professional help about treatment options and getting your loved one into treatment, The Right Step is here to assist you. We work with counseling professionals in Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana who specialize in interventions.

What is an Intervention?
An intervention is a facilitated meeting with the addict or alcoholic, friends, family members and other concerned parties. During the intervention process, the substance abuser is lovingly confronted by people who care about them. The intervention will be a frank discussion directed to the addicted person about their using behavior and the consequences of their addiction, focusing on friends' and family members' feelings and experiences. We use a proven intervention process that may include one or more preparatory meetings, including family "coaching sessions".

A trained professional will facilitate the process, discuss options with the addicted person, pave the way for treatment, and then stay on as part of the treatment team. In many cases, the alcoholic or addict is ready to seek treatment immediately, and the counselor can ensure a smooth admission process into one of The Right Step facilities.
