Interventions to Support Every Family
Lumen Intervention Service addresses the individual and family on a case-by-case basis. We know how important it is to consider each person’s life experiences and circumstances that have brought them to where they are now. We tailor the intervention to the individual and develop treatment plans that will best suit the situation and allow the person to be the most successful in their recovery. All of our interventions are completed by certified interventionists. Whether the intervention is for an executive, adolescent or teen, single parent or LGBTQ, we strive to provide the best service possible for all of our clients and allow them to feel comfortable through the whole process.
Alcohol Intervention
Alcohol interventions come with some of the most preconceived ideas. The chemical part of the addiction to alcohol is one that involves physical withdrawal symptoms. Usually, by the time a family reaches out for help, the person suffering from addiction is in the later stages of alcoholism. To the uneducated eye, stopping drinking is the solution. “Put the plug in the jug,” as they say in AA. Yes, this is a part, but perhaps a small part. When an alcoholic stops drinking, they will experience withdrawal symptoms, and unfortunately, they can be fatal. Interventions must be planned very carefully for each individual, and where they are in their addiction. Their stage of alcoholism affects everything we do in our planning. Awareness of their situations helps to develop every aspect of the treatment plan and keep the person suffering from alcoholism safe. We may use a local detox for safety concerns and then transport the person to a residential treatment center. Again, we need to keep in mind the patients’ safety first and foremost.
Drug Intervention
Drug interventions offer another set of dynamics. It is not uncommon for the person suffering from addiction to be using multiple drugs simultaneously, which can make things more complicated. It is common for us not to know the amount or type of drugs a client is using. By gaining an in-depth history of using, the interventionist can outline the intervention plan accordingly. We have been at war with opiates for over a decade and understand the severity of problems they cause. With the overdoses increasing at an alarming rate, opiate addiction is not new. Heroin addiction has been a problem in the US since the early 1900’s. A recent study in 2018 showed that every day, 128 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the United States spends approximately $78.5 billion a year covering the “economic burden” that prescription opioids take on society. These costs include healthcare, addiction treatment, lost productivity, and criminal justice involvement. These are a few examples of why it is good practice to employ a Certified Interventionist.
Executive Intervention
We have experience and expertise working with high-profile individuals and complex systems. Experience and knowledge in navigating through these systems require a set of skills that our team possesses. In these concierge services, confidentiality and privacy play a critical role in how we address treatment and services. They also need highly customized and individualized recovery plans that we can create through our extensive assessment process. Whether you are looking for a private residential treatment center or a confidential suite for yourself, our team has the resources to ensure you are comfortable and assured privacy during your treatment stay.
Faith-based Intervention
We are able to specifically design our interventions to cater to Faith-Based families and integrate prayer and specific faith-based practices into the intervention and treatment program. We want to make sure the dialogue and atmosphere during treatment would be in alignment with the families faith. At the family’s request, we could allow the Pastor, Rabbi or other spiritual leader to participate in the intervention.
Crisis Intervention
It is extremely important to have a seasoned and certified interventionist to navigate through this critical transition. Similar to a mental health intervention, the interventionist’s ability to make quick assessments is crucial for successful recovery. The timeline of a crisis intervention requires immediate attention to every detail. Due to the nature of the crisis, there is not a lot of time for planning, which means the correct decision must be made the first time. Safety and treatment structure are of critical importance. Key principles still hold true; allow the interventionist to lead the family towards recovery solutions.
Things to consider in a crisis intervention:
– Drug interactions
– Threats of harm (to self or others)
– Homicidal ideation
– Suicidal ideation
– History of violence
– Previous hospitalization or previous incarceration
– Desperation
– Assess acuity
– Children
