Can I Get a Consultation for an Intervention?

At A New Hope Recovery Services, our licensed interventionists are committed to giving all patients the best care throughout the entire recovery process. That includes the initial phone consultation. Before staging an intervention, you want to be as prepared as possible. 

An intervention is not something you can cross off your list in hopes of creating the change your family needs. An intervention can be one of the most crucial steps in helping a loved one achieve recovery. This requires an understanding of addiction, interventions, and the help of professionals. 

What Do Consultation Services Offer?

Consultation services offer a professional view of your loved one and their addiction. During this process, a professional will need to know everything you know about the severity of your loved one’s addiction. Every family and individual is different; therefore, every detail is essential in order to determine an effective approach to intervention. 

Typically a consultation lasts anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes over the phone. Ultimately, consultations help professionals determine whether an individual would be appropriate for intervention. During this process, you are also informed about the process of an intervention along with costs. 

Is There a Right Time for an Intervention?

When dealing with addiction, finding professional help is urgent. Addiction can be a matter of life or death. In the 48 to 72 hours following the initial call, qualified experts and clinicians at A New Hope Recovery Services are available nationwide to conduct an intervention. We provide interventions, therapy placement, and transportation for people aged 18 and older and adolescents aged 13 to 17. If considered medically necessary, registered nurse escorts are also offered.

How to Prepare for an Intervention 

Preparing for an intervention can start by making that initial phone call in which licensed professionals are available to answer any questions you may have. A consultation with A New Hope Recovery Services can provide you with the answers and resources you need to successfully perform an intervention. A New Hope Recovery Services is prepared with professional clinicians who can be present to help guide you during the intervention.

Questions to Help Determine the Next Step 

In order to get effective results during a consultation, it is important to know what questions to ask and what information to provide. The following are crucial questions to ask when determining if the intervention specialist you contacted is right for you.

What Is Your Level of Training and Certification?

To determine what sets an interventionist apart from others, it is important to know the level of training an interventionist has received. There is no licensure for an interventionist in any of the 50 states, which provides a lack of oversight in this field. At A New Hope Recovery Services, our team of behavioral health experts is clinically trained to address a multitude of issues affecting a family in crisis as a result of addiction or substance use.

The severity and your and your loved one’s unique situation is an important factor in assessing and finding the best treatment and successfully intervening with people who may have co-occurring disorders. We work with people who have mental health disorders, eating disorders, sex or love addictions, technology-based addictions, gambling, or other problematic behavioral issues.

What Is Your Fee? 

Unfortunately, at this time, interventions are not covered by insurance providers, and intervention costs are out of pocket. Therefore it is imperative to be fully informed about the interventionist you are choosing in order to get the most out of the money you are spending. You also want to ensure you can afford intervention costs before following through with the intervention.

What Factors Should I Consider to Determine if My Loved One Is Right for an Intervention?

During a consultation, licensed clinicians consider multiple factors in determining whether your loved one is right for an intervention. This can include the severity of your loved one’s addiction as well as your ability to pay for your loved one’s needed services. 

What Occurs During a Pre-Intervention Phase? 

In the pre-intervention planning stage, A New Hope Recovery Services makes use of its expert clinical judgment based on the particular circumstances of the identified patient, such as age, gender, financial situation, insurance coverage, and current bed availability. We make use of our extensive network of institutions to give the family a minimum of three alternative treatment options and assist them in making their choice.

How Important Is Family Involvement?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “When a family member is experiencing a mental or substance use disorder, it can affect more than just the person in need of recovery.” At A New Hope Recovery Services, our integrative intervention model utilizes evidence-based motivational techniques combined with a family-systems-oriented approach. We understand the effects addiction can have on both your loved one struggling with addiction along with your family structure. We are here to help.
