Intervention Meeting

Why Intervention?

Oftentimes when we have a family member or someone who is important in our lives, that is struggling with substance use disorders or negatively impactful behaviors, we are at a loss as to how we can help them.  Please remember the best way you can help your loved one, is love them, and offer services of professionals.  

Our Approach to Interventions

We at Merciful Recovery Services believe everyone not only has the right, but also deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.  When we do interventions, we lead with love, meet with the family/concerned persons first, then invite the one who may be struggling into the conversation.  We will put together options that we believe are clinically the most appropriate course of action to help your loved one. However, we strongly believe in autonomy, if someone is forced to do something they don’t truly want to do, it typically doesn’t last.

We prefer to work with the one struggling, to see if they believe their life has become unmanageable due to their use.  Is their life where they want it to be?  Are there certain things they’d like to change?  Have they tried to make changes before, yet they were sustained changes?  What are they willing to do to make the changes? 

 

Testimonials

Testimonials

“I had the privilege of working with Lisa Brown for a year. Lisa embodies what it means to provide compassionate, client centered care to individuals struggling to navigate the world of addiction, mental illness, and recovery. Both in the her roles as a program director and clinical counselor, I have seen Lisa empowering clients to ultimately make their own goals and decide what their life and recovery will look like, while being guided with a loving team of support behind them.

In my experience, both in recovery myself and working in the field, I believe we need more people like Lisa who will be true allies for people who are struggling with this disease.”

“Lisa’s empathy, grace and gentle guidance are not only unparalleled in the field, but were an indispensable part of my journey to recovery. By respecting my unique experience and allowing me to find a recovery path that works for me, Lisa created a space in which I was able to heal, find my voice and recover my true self.”

“Roger was my sober companion immediately after rehab. I know that I would not be sober today if it weren’t for Rogers care and guidance. I think the days and early weeks after rehab are when you find yourself the most vulnerable. We hit 12 step meetings, read the big book, and above all he kept me accountable. Drug testing and breathalyzer twice a day. Going on 2 plus years of sobriety and I couldn’t have done it without him.”
