    Category: Learn to facilitate your own intervention

    You may believe that getting your addicted family member into treatment would take a miracle. Or you may think it can only happen if a professional is brought in. But our approach is unique in that it teaches you, the family member or close friend, how to do your own intervention.

    Our experience at Allies in Recovery shows us that you don’t need a high-priced professional. The only exception is if there is imminent danger or you don’t have 4-6 weeks to follow the CRAFT guidelines and do a successful intervention on your own. CRAFT as we teach it online provides a pretty low threshold for family members to get some training and education.
