Family First Intervention helps you formulate your definition of success. Ultimately, what a family is willing to accept as successful for themselves or the substance user is something they will have to live with. Our goal and our mission, regardless of the path the substance user takes, are to help a family begin their own recovery. We aim to provide an effective intervention process that helps a family find freedom and independence from the substance user’s behaviors.
If addiction problems were exclusive to substance use, then moderation and decreasing use might be a successful goal. In our experience, the loved one’s family is ultimately calling about the behaviors of the substance user, not the substance use. In other words, switching drugs of choice or decreasing use may not alter the behaviors that have exhausted the family. It is not so much what or how much an individual uses; it’s what the person does, and how he or she behaves that most always brings families down.
Family First Intervention provides intervention and resources for families of loved ones experiencing a dual diagnosis, substance use, and mental health disorders. For more information, please check out our website family-intervention.com.
