Primary Difference between Intervention Services and the JTP Family Liaison

Person coersed into treatment. (The treatment program chosen is usually the highest bidder rather than what would be most effective for an individual.)

Substance abuser makes positive, lasting lifestyle changes. Substance abuser assesses the need for enrollment in the JTP after a series of non confrontational meetings and/or correspondence with our Family Liaison Services Director.

Confrontational in nature; coercive; in some cases abusive; fear and guilt as the primary motivators; group ambush with loved ones; negativity as a catalyst for action.

Mediation between family and substance abuser; educating with facts and research; providing all options; listening to all parties and helping each come to an understanding of the other. Helping all to make an informed decision.

1-2 day on-site visit. Services typically end when person enters treatment program.

2-3 day average on-site visit, but length of visit can be personalized based on the family’s needs. Services continue indefinitely throughout program and after program completion.

One price plus expenses regardless of services provided. High cost, low value.

Varying levels of cost depending upon services requested. Affordable. Great value, as services continue indefinitely.

5% - 20% with 12 Step/Disease based treatment methodology.

30%-75% depending upon whether or not the person attends and completes the JTP.

Confrontational ambush designed to scare/coerce your loved one into treatment program that research has shown may actually decrease his/her chances of ever making a lasting positive lifestyle change.

Kindness, empathy, compassion and accurate information designed to provide all options to family and substance abuser so both can make an informed and rational decision.
