Our interventionists help Mississippi families confront a loved one's drinking with a plan, a treatment bed waiting and support that continues long after the first yes.
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 Mississippi, from Biloxi, Clinton and Glendale 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.

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 Mississippi or out of state.
Drinking is often one part of a wider picture. Mississippi recorded 525 drug overdose deaths in 2024, an age-adjusted rate of 18.6 per 100,000, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (source).
In limited cases. Mississippi's civil commitment law sets out a court process that can order treatment when strict legal conditions are met. It is a backstop, not a shortcut: a planned intervention is usually the faster and more lasting route, and a Mississippi attorney can confirm how the law applies to your family.
The court route here is Mississippi's civil commitment law (Miss. Code Ann. 41-21-61 et seq.). A spouse, relative, friend or other interested person may file an affidavit asking the chancery court to commit a person with alcohol or drug addiction who is dangerous to self or others or cannot manage their affairs. Laws change, so confirm the current rules with a Mississippi attorney before you rely on them.
