Frequently Asked Questions: Comprehensive Addiction Support Services

Intervention Facilitation


What is an intervention? An intervention is a professionally guided, structured conversation designed to help a loved one acknowledge their addiction and accept help. It's a loving, yet firm, opportunity for family and friends to express their concerns and offer a clear path to treatment.

When is an intervention appropriate? An intervention is often considered when a loved one's addiction is causing significant harm to themselves or others, and they are unwilling or unable to seek help on their own. We serve families throughout Greensboro, High Point, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Durham, and nationwide.

How does intervention facilitation work? Our experienced facilitators guide families through the entire process, from initial planning and preparation to the intervention itself. This includes educating participants, developing a unified message, and ensuring a safe and supportive environment.

What is the success rate of interventions? While success can vary, professionally facilitated interventions significantly increase the likelihood of a positive outcome compared to unassisted attempts.

What if my loved one refuses treatment after the intervention? While our goal is always to encourage treatment, our facilitators also help families develop contingency plans and strategies for continued support, regardless of the immediate outcome.

We conduct in-depth research to identify treatment centers that best fit an individual's specific needs, including type of addiction, co-occurring mental health disorders, location preferences (e.g., within Greensboro, High Point, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Durham, or other areas nationwide), insurance coverage, and personal preferences.

What types of treatment centers do you work with? We have relationships with a wide range of reputable treatment centers, including those offering inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, long-term residential, and specialized programs. Our network extends across North Carolina and the entire nation.

Do you only recommend certain centers? No, our recommendations are based solely on the individual's needs and our extensive research. We are not affiliated with specific centers in a way that would compromise our objective recommendations.

How long does the placement process take? The timeline varies depending on individual circumstances and the urgency of the situation, but we work efficiently to expedite the process while ensuring a thorough assessment.

Is my personal information kept confidential during the placement process? Absolutely. All personal and medical information is handled with the utmost confidentiality and in compliance with all privacy regulations.
