When someone you love in Irvine will not accept help, a professionally led intervention gives your family a calm, prepared way to ask.
A drug and alcohol interventionist prepares the family, arranges treatment in advance and leads the conversation that asks a loved one to accept help. We do this for families in Irvine, from Woodbridge to Laguna Hills, traveling in through John Wayne Airport (SNA).
We work with families across the area, including:
