If alcohol is part of what's going on with your loved one, take our short, private assessment to get a clearer picture of where things stand and what kind of support could help.

An intervention at Integrative Recovery Therapies looks nothing like what you might see on television. It's a calm, structured conversation prepared weeks in advance with your family. We meet with you first to understand your loved one's situation, what you've observed, and what you hope to accomplish. Together we plan what each person will say, how to stay grounded if emotions run high, and what treatment options exist if your loved one is willing to listen. When the day comes, it feels respectful and purposeful, not like an ambush.
Our team doesn't hand you a plan and disappear. We prepare you thoroughly before the intervention, coaching you on boundaries and language so you feel confident and clear. And we remain involved afterward, whether your loved one agrees to treatment immediately or whether your family needs time to regroup and try again. We understand that recovery is a process, and sometimes readiness takes time. Either way, you're not doing this alone.
Every intervention we plan is built around these five commitments, regardless of the family or the situation.
We assess for safety risks before anything else, and we plan around them.
We keep the focus on clear communication instead of blame or shame.
We help families use specific, concrete language instead of vague accusations.
We help families hold loving boundaries, not ultimatums delivered in anger.
We prepare real, workable next steps rather than an all-or-nothing outcome.
We speak plainly and kindly, without judgment as the starting point for your family.
Our team plans interventions with real clinical training, not a generic template.
When treatment is accepted, we help coordinate the next step so nothing falls through.
We stay involved before, during, and after the intervention, whatever the outcome.
We understand the realities families in the DeRidder area are navigating.
We meet your family in our Metairie office or through secure telehealth, whichever fits.
Take the free assessment, or talk it through with a real person first.
When you call from DeRidder, our first conversation is simply about listening. We want to understand what brought you to reach out, what worries you most, and what matters most to your family. There's no pressure to decide anything that day. We build every plan around the actual people involved, their relationships, and what they genuinely need, not around a template or script.
We start with a private conversation to understand the situation and screen for any safety concerns.
We help your family prepare what to say, what boundaries to hold, and what realistic next steps look like.
A calm, structured, guided conversation, not a surprise or an ambush, with treatment options ready if accepted.
We stay involved afterward, whatever the outcome, and help coordinate next steps with the family.
Integrative Recovery Therapies plans and facilitates interventions for families throughout DeRidder, LA and the surrounding area. We serve communities including Beauregard Parish and nearby towns where our clients live and work. Whether you prefer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions or in-person meetings at our Metairie office, we offer flexible options to fit your family's needs.
No, interventions do not have to be confrontational. Integrative Recovery Therapies plans each one to be calm, structured, and respectful, so it feels like a caring conversation rather than a confrontation or an ambush.
If your loved one refuses help, your family already has a plan for realistic boundaries and next steps, because that possibility is part of the preparation from the start. A refusal does not mean the process failed; it means the conversation continues on your family's terms.
Yes, Integrative Recovery Therapies plans interventions for co-occurring addiction and mental health concerns, not just substance use alone. Our team is trained to account for both when preparing your family and the conversation.
Yes, we regularly support families navigating an intervention alongside legal or court involvement. When it fits the situation, we can also coordinate with our Re-Entry Counseling team.
If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
