A heart-to-heart conversation with someone suffering from a substance abuse disorder often requires a more focused and unified approach to result in them agreeing to get the help they need.

There are many professional models of Intervention, both direct and indirect, such as:
While the experts at Orion Interventions, LLC, Inc. have knowledge on the various theories, philosophies, and modalities of each type of intervention, our primary focus though is to design a custom intervention that is tailored to the specific needs and traits of the client, rather than following a prescribed template. We design and conduct each intervention in a manner that will safely get the client to detox and/or treatment with the least amount of harm to their self-esteem. The reason is simple: addiction treatment may just save the client’s life.
Each client’s situation is unique and calls for a professional assessment as to the client’s history of substance abuse and/or addiction, their level of denial, their family dynamic, available resources, and much more. Interventions can be effective with alcohol abuse, prescription drug abuse, street drug abuse, and other addictions. Orion Interventions, LLC’s interventionists are experienced in planning and adapting accordingly in the highly stressful and sensitive situations.
Our interventionists understand first-hand that committing to an intervention to get help with an addiction can be a highly uncertain and frightening process for all involved. By the time an interventions occurs the individual is typically deep in the addiction, so the stakes are high. There is often a sense of urgency to save the addict’s life by this point.
