Built by a family...made to help families

Although Intervention Services and Technologies, Inc. has extensive experience in the fields of intervention, treatment and recovery, our vision did not come about overnight. Two brothers, Kevin and David Lee, were raised together in an average home by very caring and loving parents. Kevin went on to college studying both teaching and psychology, eventually getting married and settling down. David, on the other hand, went the other way. Experimenting with alcohol and marijuana in the beginning, it wasn't long before harder drugs entered his life. By the age of 29, David had been arrested several times for various alcohol, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine activities, and had also completed over 20 residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities without maintaining long-term sobriety. Going into treatment each time for all the wrong reasons, he would return back to the family, back to the drugs and alcohol. Lying, stealing and constantly being bailed out, David was getting further away from recovery and his family was geting closer to emotional and financial ruin. Things would continue on, temporarily getting better, inevitably getting worse. Always seeking for the solution, it was his mother that found the way out.

After a simple phone call with a treatment facility, the counselor started to talk about an intervention and the family began to gain hope. During the intervention process, they learned that dealing with him the same ways always led to the same results; they learned that they were the safety net that enabled his addiction to continue. Under the guidance of treatment professionals they changed their behavior. This time, after another relapse, as David arrived at the family home he heard something different. No longer were his "promises to change" being listened to. No longer was the family willing to suffer at the hands of his addiction. He was told that he could do as he wished, but no matter what his decisions were, they were making changes in their lives. They had set some healthy boundaries, and it had an effect. By the end of the day, all the cards were slowly put on the table and for the first time he saw his life for what it was and began to desire treatment for the right reasons. He began to have the right attitude and wanted to change his life. Entering willingly into treatment was the beginning of a journey that has culminated with the formation of this company. Our mission is to help families in need, to help the addict who doesn't want help, who doesn't see the damage he is causing his family, or perhaps no longer even cares. Our mission is to change his mind.

Our process was started by a family and made to help families just like yours.
