There are times when families or individuals need several of these services and other times when they only need one. My job is to design a well thought out plan that will get families what they need and provide a roadmap to their healing.
Interventions
Intervention is an effective tool that families can use to help the loved one suffering from substance use disorder or mental health disorders find their way to recovery.
I like to call this a family meeting. Intervening on a loved one is a way for the family to express their care and concern in a compassionate loving way. Educating the family about addictions and mental health is a big part of the process as well as helping the family find the right treatment center for their loved one. After the loved one goes into a treatment center I do weekly coaching with the family to educated them about changing the dynamic of the relationships and begin their own process of recovery. When we have a loved one who is addicted or mentally ill it affects the whole family so in some sense the entire family begins the journey of healing together.
Family Recovery Coaching
Family Recovery Coaching is a process by which the family of a loved one who suffers from substance use disorder or mental health issues begins to gain knowledge, insight and awareness into how to move themselves out of the vicious cycle of addiction and codependency. We set goals and help the family/client go deeply within themselves so they can move forward in their lives. I help family members move from surviving to thriving
BALM® Family Recovery
The BALM® (Be A Loving Mirror) method teaches families how to engage their loved ones through evidence-based brief interventions that can encourage loved ones to enter and commit to recovery more quickly. This method helps families shift away from anxious reactivity to calm responsiveness, bringing a new found serenity to the family environment.
This change in family behavior can also help a loved one avoid or shorten slips and relapses.
Treatment Placement
Treatment Placement is also a service that I provide for families. Finding a treatment center can be a daunting task that the family is not equipped to take on. I have traveled all over the country visiting treatment centers and know the ones that would best fit the individuals needs. Families can feel confident that I am unbiased in my recommendations and will give them a few options to explore.
Transport
Transport is a process by which I accompany the individual to or from a treatment facility anywhere in the the United States. I provide safe passage either by car or plane in which the individual can feel comfortable, safe and cared for in a way that is essential during this vulnerable time.
Case Management
Case Management is a comprehensive plan that is put in place to help the individual stay on the road to recovery whether that is from addiction or from a behavioral health issue. We design each plan with the individuals needs and circumstances taken into consideration. We coordinate with various treatment providers as well as any other professional services the client may be seeing as part of their recovery plan.
