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 see on television. It's a calm, structured conversation prepared carefully in advance with your family, not a surprise or an ambush. We work with you beforehand to plan what will be said, who will be present, and how to create an environment where your loved one can actually hear you. This is how real change becomes possible, not through shock or pressure, but through clarity and care.
Our team helps you prepare by walking through what to say, how to hold your boundaries, and what happens next regardless of the outcome. If your loved one agrees to treatment that day, we're there to support the transition. If they're not ready, we don't disappear. We help your family regroup, process what happened, and plan the next step. This isn't a one-time event; it's a process, and we're with you through it.
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 New Orleans 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 reach out from New Orleans, our first conversation is simply about listening. We'll ask questions to understand what you're seeing, what worries you most, and what matters to your family. There's no pressure to commit to anything that day. We build from there, crafting an approach that fits your actual situation and the people involved, not following a preset formula.
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 New Orleans, LA and the surrounding area. We work with families in neighborhoods like the Marigny, Bywater, and Gentilly areas, as well as nearby communities such as Metairie and the greater metro region. Whether you prefer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions or in-person meetings at our Metairie office, we're here to support your family's intervention journey with the flexibility that works for you.
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.
