INTERVENTION SERVICES

Getting someone you love the help they need can be difficult. After all, addiction is destructive – not just for the person using drugs and alcohol, but also for the family and friends who are close to the addict. Understanding that it is a physically, emotionally, financially taxing process, McAlister Institute’s intervention services are built on compassion and empathy, evidence-based practices, and more than 40 years of experience with treatment and recovery.

Our team of licensed professionals work with families and loved ones to develop an individualized intervention plan to help individuals get professional help for a substance abuse and/or co-occurring mental health issue. Each individual is different, and addiction is a complex disease, so our experienced team looks at the big picture and then tailors the intervention approach depending on drug of choice, family relationships, age, location, and other key dynamics.

Taking into consideration all of the factors, a typical timeline includes:

One-on-one telephone call with licensed therapist
Pre-intervention counseling and evaluation
Individualized plan
Family consultation to prepare for intervention
Intervention
Access to McAlister Institute’s 25 programs, including transportation to treatment if appropriate
Post-intervention family counseling
Ongoing support

“Life” was given to me, and there are no words to describe what it is actually like to “have a life.” I now have 6 years totally clean and sober, even cigarette-free after having smoked 2 packs a day for ten years. I have strong ethics against lying, tardiness, procrastination, and other such things.

Thank you, Jeanne McAlister. Without you and the programs you have, I would not be the person that I am today. It began at McAlister Institute, and here I will remain as long as they allow me to. I owe you my life.

For the last 8 months, I have gradually seen the rebirth of my son ~ that son that I bore ~ that brilliant child. The love, the caring–it is still there. He just had to find it again.

It hit. This place isn’t punishment. It’s a last chance at life. It brings you in with no judgment and helps you. This program has opened parts that I truly wasn’t aware of like how to deal with my anger and why I always felt the need to run and hide when things got bad.
