What is it that makes Intervention Services and Technologies, Inc. so unique?

• Because we focus on the long-term. Looking beyond the short-term goals of "getting the addict to treatment" our attitude is that the intervention process isn't truly over until your loved one gets at least one year of continuous sobriety. In order to help achieve this, we look at all of the factors contributing to the addiction, examining the causes and conditions.
• Because we offer lifetime support. An intervention shouldn't end when your loved one agrees to go to treatment. To help him and his family achieve their first year in sobriety, we offer each family member lifetime consultation after the intervention, during treatment, and in the weeks, months and years after treatment.
• Because we have the most comprehensive alcohol and drug intervention method in current use. What this means is that no stone is unturned and all bases are covered. Focusing on the addict, the family and the interwoven dynamics in between, we have a methodology that works to allow the addict to see things differently and then willingly enter treatment. If we leave a single loophole, then the addict will find it and use it to his advantage. An intervention is usually a "one-shot deal" and should be dealt with as such.
• Because of our diversity. With over 10 full time intervention specialists spanning various age brackets, cultural, economic, racial and religious backgrounds, the idea is to fit the appropriate interventionist with the addict. Some of our interventionists got sober in standard 12-step modalities, some are Christian faith-based, while others did so in cognitive or psychotherapeutic models. Not only do we have backgrounds in almost every drug, but also every lifestyle, including an ordained minister, a former high school teacher, a semi-pro ballplayer, a business owner, a surfer, and a professional musician. In terms of religious diversity, we have Christians, Catholics, Buddhists, Mormons, an athiest as well as a Scientologist on board. Crossing over all racial, socioeconomic, cultural and religious lines we tailor each intervention to specifically meet your family's needs. Our 55 year old recovering alcoholic intervention specialist probably wouldn't be as effective influencing a teenage addict into getting sober as our 26 year old former meth addict. It is for that reason that we have such a wide diversity in backgrounds.
• Because we maintain an ongoing relationship with our families long after a successful intervention. After the addict agrees to treatment, the intervention doesn't end there. It is important to understand all the hurdles ahead in order to help maintain abstinence during and after treatment, and we insist on "following" our family's progress into and even after treatment.
• Because we guide the family and help you to select the treatment solution that is best for your loved one. Due to our successful approach, many reknowned treatment centers know us by name and reputation. However, we do not work as representatives or outside contractors for any particular program, as some interventionists do. Using our database of over 12,000 registered facilites, we remain unbiased in helping you to choose the form of treatment that is an ideal selection, based entirely upon your needs.
• Because we are cost-effective. Most families have suffered financially from the ruin brought upon by the drug and alcohol use of the addict, and we at Intervention Services and Technologies, Inc. have done everything possible to bring our overhead down in order to deliver far more service for a far less cost. Not only are we one of the least expensive providers, but we are also one of the most heavily trained, experienced and comprehensive intervention services in current use.
• Because we understand. Intervention Services and Technologies, Inc. was founded by two brothers, one a former drug addict and another a degreed psychologist who suffered as your family is suffering now. Collectively, they have used their extensive backgrounds, professional training and personal experiences to develop a company that addresses not just the needs of the addicted one, but serves to heal the family as a whole. We have formed a company that offers the best of both worlds. Our interventionist team members, psychologists and counselors have not only seen the world through the eyes of an addict, but have also experienced the pain of being a family member of an addict. We are not simply compassionate about what you are going through, we have lived what you are going through. Founded by a family who has been through the ruins and come out the other side to see the sunlight, we have developed not only the most effective crisis in intervention style, but also a very caring, loving family intervention style which focuses on the family as a whole. Quite simply, we offer hope when there is little or none, and we help to guide you from fear into faith.
