This is one of the most common questions we are asked by family and friends suffering from the diseases of alcoholism and chemical dependency. At one time, there was little that could be done. However, advances in the field of intervention now allow family members to help patients who don't want treatment to get the help they need.

Intervention is defined as the process of presenting facts to someone who is out of touch with reality in a way that allows him to accept just enough of it that he agrees to seek help. Williamsburg Place and The William J. Farley Center work in collaboration with a nationwide team of interventionists who are skilled at helping patients who are in denial get to the treatment they so desperately need. Interventions are performed in a caring, loving and structured manner and require careful planning. A variety of intervention styles are used, which are tailored to individual needs.

Workplace interventions, family interventions, or interventions by caring friends can be successfully completed with the right help from trained interventionists who will work with you to get the best possible outcome.

If your loved one, co-worker, or friend is in need of treatment but is in denial about the existence or the extent of the problem, intervention may be the best approach. You can contact us now to discuss your specific needs. That way we can match you with the interventionist who is the best fit for your unique situation.
