When drinking has taken over someone you love, a structured alcohol intervention gives your Arizona family one clear, calm plan instead of another argument.
An alcohol intervention is a planned conversation, led by a professional interventionist, in which a family asks someone who drinks too much to accept treatment that day. We travel to families throughout Arizona, from Chandler, Mesa and Phoenix to smaller towns, with treatment and sober transport arranged in advance. Not sure it is time? Read the signs a loved one needs an intervention.
Court-ordered addiction treatment. No addiction-specific process a family can start.
Drinking and the law. Arizona requires a certified ignition interlock device for 12 months after a first DUI conviction involving alcohol (A.R.S. § 28-3319) (source).
State agency. Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).
State treatment line. Arizona Opioid Assistance and Referral (OAR) Line: 1-888-688-4222.
Emergency. Call 911 if a loved one is in immediate danger. Call or text 988 for an emotional crisis.
Stopping heavy daily drinking suddenly can cause seizures or delirium tremens, so every plan includes medically managed withdrawal. If your loved one has a seizure, hallucinations or severe confusion while stopping, call 911.
Our treatment navigation takes no payment from treatment centers, in Arizona or out of state.
Drinking is often one part of a wider picture. Arizona recorded 2,453 drug overdose deaths in 2024, an age-adjusted rate of 32.6 per 100,000, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (source).
Not directly. Arizona has no substance use commitment law that a family can start on its own. A planned, professionally led intervention is the most reliable route to treatment.
Arizona has no involuntary treatment law for addiction alone. Court-ordered treatment requires a mental disorder, and the statute excludes people whose symptoms come only from drug or alcohol use. (source) Confirm the current rules with a Arizona attorney before relying on them.
AHCCCS, Arizona's Medicaid agency, covers Family Support Services for caregivers and natural supports of members, delivered by family run organizations staffed by people with lived experience, including help learning about substance use disorders (source).
