When drinking has taken over someone you love, a structured alcohol intervention gives your Oregon 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 Oregon, from Eugene and Portland 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. An Oregon DUII case requires a screening interview with a certified Alcohol and Other Drug Screening Specialist, followed by a DUII education or rehabilitation program based on the assessment (source).
State agency. Oregon Health Authority, Behavioral Health Division.
State treatment line. Alcohol and Drug Help Line: 1-800-923-4357.
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 Oregon or out of state.
Drinking is often one part of a wider picture. Oregon recorded 1,500 drug overdose deaths in 2024, an age-adjusted rate of 33.5 per 100,000, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (source).
Not directly. Oregon 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.
Oregon has no civil commitment law that lets a family member petition a court for involuntary treatment for substance use alone. Confirm the current rules with a Oregon attorney before relying on them.
The Oregon Health Authority funds Reach Out Oregon's Parent/Family Help Line (833-732-2467), which supports families on issues including substance use, and contracts with the Oregon Family Support Network for family support specialists (source).
