Family Intervention Associates can help.
We are the alternative to confrontational “quick fix” interventions. We know from experience that successful interventions require a respectful, carefully considered process rather than a single high risk event.

We view each family or group as unique with its own set of challenges, requiring a specialized intervention conducted with utmost care and professionalism.

We have assisted families, individuals, and employers throughout the United States since 1985, and can objectively help determine what is needed. We will guide you step by step, knowing that when effective action is taken, recovery for all is possible.

We are independent consultants and not affiliated with any particular treatment center.  We are familiar with the best treatment available and can help you sort out the myriad of options. As members of two interventionist networks, we can assist you in finding a qualified interventionist for your situation.
