Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no "magic pill" which will cure alcoholism or drug addiction...
What causes an alcoholic or drug addict to “hit bottom” and seek help are the consequences, or results,
of their drinking or drug use. The alcoholic or drug addict usually doesn't see the consequences
themselves, in most cases denying them, and usually believes that they're NOT the result of
their own drinking or drug use but everything and everyone else around them.
There's usually a long history of "problems" that can go back many years, and these consequences
will always become more frequent and more severe as the disease itself progresses; this can include, nut is not limited to, alienation from family & loved ones, arrests, financial losses & hardship, accidents (i.e. auto,
personal injury, work-related, etc.), loss of employment, and mounting health issues.
Hitting bottom will, in many cases, finally force the alcoholic or drug addict to recognize and accept
the problem, and seek treatment. Too many times though, hitting bottom will ultimately result in an
alcoholic or drug addicts death, or causing the death of someone else. This can be avoided if a family
member or loved ones seek professional help before they hit their bottom, in the form of an Intervention.
Having their bottom raised is much better than waiting for them to hit it on their own...
Service fees are listed below for you to see, BEFORE calling us.
Intervention:$1,250.00 (Most interventions today cost between $2,500-$4,500 + expenses!)
Our cost includes the intervention itself, all preparation leading up to, and including, the pre-intervention meeting and rehearsal the day prior with family, friends, and co-workers. This is to develop a plan of action for the intervention, and is necessary due to the fact that many things can & will happen, and a successful intervention depends on being prepared for any potential situation that could arise.
Expenses: Variable (Normally in the range of $350-$500)
We do everything humanly possible to keep expenses to a minimum; since there is no set
amount for expenses, we do ask that a travel expense for a predetermined amount be paid in advance.
(total expense amount varies depending on many factors, but in most cases will not exceed $500)
This expense amount is used ONLY for round trip coach airfare for the Interventionist, an economy rental car, fuel, overnight hotel stay, meals, and incidentals related to the Intervention; additionally, funds may be
needed for the purchase of an open ended round trip ticket for your loved one, if applicable. **
Additional Fees: Very simple... There are no "additional fees" or "hidden costs", we simply don't understand the concept of "bait & switch" tactics, and will NEVER misinform or deceive anyone!
Accepted Payment Methods: Certified Bank Check or Money Order * NO PERSONAL CHECKS *
Travel expenses must be paid, with the signed & dated Intervention Agreement, prior to the pre-intervention.
* The Intervention fee is due, in full, at the pre-Intervention meeting *
Once an intervention is completed, you will be forwarded an itemized travel itinerary, showing all expenses. You'll receive a refund if the amount you've provided in advance is more than the actual cost of all travel expenses, and we'll only bill you if the final travel expenses exceed, by $50 or more, what you've already provided in advance!
** If the detox or treatment center is within 3-4 hours driving distance, no round trip airline arrangements for your loved one need to be made, and the Interventionist will bring them directly to the detox, or treatment center, as needed.
Please allow us help you during this very difficult time...
