Our interventionists help families in Houston move a loved one from drinking or drug use into treatment, with one clear plan and support that continues after the first yes.
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 Houston, from The Heights to The Woodlands, traveling in through George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
