How We Get Started on the Path to Recovery

All services provided encompass a comprehensive approach, beginning with thorough assessments to gain a deep understanding of the unique needs and circumstances of each individual and family. This is followed by meticulous and timely preparation, ensuring that every aspect of the intervention and subsequent care management is thoughtfully planned and executed.

Through education and guidance, our services empower families and individuals to make well-informed decisions, rather than making difficult choices on their behalf. This fosters a sense of ownership and empowerment throughout the process.

Step 1: Assessment

Taking time to assess the psychological, environmental, and emotional situation of each client is essential for success. From there, Dirk begins to help you navigate the many tough choices in determining the most effective treatment plan for your loved one or yourself. Every assessment is thoughtfully prepared and timed by respecting the identified patient and their family.

Step 2: Intervention

Thorough preparation is a critical factor in achieving successful interventions, yet it is often overlooked. The key lies in assembling the right team of people. The adaptive intervention model is designed to anticipate obstacles and moments of resistance, allowing the individual in need to more readily accept the support and care provided. Referred to as "living eulogies" by those he has assisted, Dirk's interventions focus on uplifting individuals and highlighting their unique qualities, ultimately fostering a mindset that is more receptive to receiving assistance.

Step 3: Developing a Roadmap to Recovery

To achieve a successful outcome, it is crucial to establish a clear vision of success. Once there is an acknowledgment of the issue at hand, the path to healing becomes more accessible. Each treatment plan is tailored to honor the unique needs of every individual. Outcome studies and research consistently show that extended periods of structured care for individuals significantly increase the likelihood of long-term recovery.

Step 4: Early Recovery Coaching & Mentoring

This phase is vital in the recovery journey. While structured in-patient and out-patient care provide essential knowledge for living in recovery, it requires ongoing mentoring, coaching, and therapy for this knowledge to evolve into wisdom and become deeply ingrained. Dirk is dedicated to offering long-term support, often extending for a year or more, to individuals and families. He emphasizes that recovery represents a promise for the future, rather than a consequence of the past.

Frequently Asked Questions

Selecting the best person to help your family is in fact, a big deal. If your interventionist cannot meet your loved one and family exactly where they are, success will not be achieved. While the most effective way to answer questions is through a phone call or electronic meeting, here is a list of the most common questions Dirk receives.

  • The 30-day model of treatment was born during a time of war where a soldier could get a 30-day leave. There is zero evidence based, clinical data indicating that 30 days is enough time for individuals or families to heal. What I believe is that addiction is a disease of isolation and the antidote is community.

    Providing a safe, clinically sound community for individuals to reshape their thinking over the first year of early recovery is producing the best outcomes. Starting with primary care and finishing with experiences like a well-run sober living and outpatient program experiences continue to offer the best outcomes. 

  • Clients have full access to me, every step of the way. This is a key to success because building trust takes time. If the identified patient sees me as having a “servant heart with no agenda” they are more likely to actually hear both what I’m saying as well as the family. This advocation includes their time in whatever type of treatment is chosen, while I work alongside each clinical team.

  • Yes, many families request that I serve as simply the interventionist, the care manager or a coach depending on the unique needs of each individual situation.

  • Yes, each of these communication options are used. Meeting people “in-person” as often as possible is also a very helpful foundation to work from.

Recovery is A Process, not an event

The process of intervention requires sound leadership from an individual who is not emotionally connected to the identified patient. It’s ok to not have all the answers if you are simply willing to ask for help. Just as you would seek the best heart surgeon if you had heart disease, you should seek the best professional care possible to arrest the progression of the disease of addiction. Non-judgment and active listening allow me to design a plan that will work for each unique set of circumstances. The process is slow but consistent after an individual truly surrenders to the possibility of change.
