A qualified Interventionist can help withdrawal from alcohol and drug addiction by stopping the downward spiral and to begin the healing process.

As with all addictions, drug and alcohol abusers are usually the last to admit there is a problem. The abuser may realize there is a problem but just cannot seem to seek help. Family, friends and co-workers also suffer and can be destroyed by the abuser’s addiction. Intervention in many cases is the most powerful step that a family or friend can take to initiate the recovery process.

Weyland Intervention Services provides Orchestrated Interventions with the specific goal of getting an abuser into treatment. According to Addiction Intervention Resources, 92 percent of those intervened go on to treatment and have the opportunity to change their lives.

Most people with alcohol and drug addiction deny its abusive effect and the negative impact to their lives and the lives of those around them. Most alcoholics believe that they can quit by themselves. They don't understand that withdrawal from alcohol addiction can be medically dangerous and medical supervision is often required. A qualified interventionist can help break through this wall of denial and can implement a plan that can stop the downward cycle and begin the healing process.

Weyland Intervention Services believes that such Interventions should only be employed when a qualified Interventionist has assessed that it is the only option left for family and friends. Ethically, a less restrictive and certainly less intrusive intervention approach should first be explored before doing an Orchestrated Intervention. Weyland's approach entertains the idea that there are often intermediate or gradations of intervention strategies that may be implemented.

Families are typically afraid and sometimes even at their wits end when they decide that they are in need of an Intervention.  It is the job of the professionally trained interventionist to infuse a sense of calm to the situation while clinically assessing both the need for an intervention, when best indicated and the level(s) of intervention that will best serve a specific situation.

Weyland Intervention Services offers a discreet, gender specific outpatient opportunity to attain recovery. These services are provided in a calm and soothing environment and one that supports the patient’s efforts to take the risk to take the necessary steps toward ongoing recovery, at the patient’s own pace. The professionals at Weyland have learned that pushing people tends to encourage behavioral or literal relapse. Weyland supports their patients and supports then in finding their own way, while honoring their needs and personal beliefs.

If you have a family member, friend or co-worker that needs help to overcome this painful, destructive illness while allowing the continuation of life's obligations with minimal interruption and are located in the Northern California, San Francisco Bay Area in Oakland, Berkley, Danville, Concord and Walnut Creek areas - visit our website www.WeylandInterventionServices.com/  or call (925) 945-7816 ext. 41.
