An intervention at Integrative Recovery Therapies is nothing like what you might see on television. It's a carefully planned conversation, prepared weeks in advance with your family, where everyone knows what will be said and why. We help you choose who participates, what each person will share, and how to keep the tone steady and respectful rather than accusatory. This structure matters because your loved one deserves to hear the truth about how their substance use has affected people who care about them, delivered with clarity and compassion, not shock or judgment.
Before the intervention, our team meets with your family to prepare you thoroughly. We talk through what you'll say, how to set boundaries that matter, and what treatment options exist if your loved one is ready. Equally important: we don't disappear if they say no that day. If they're not ready, we help you decide what comes next and continue supporting your family as you regroup. If they do agree to treatment, we walk alongside them from intake through recovery. Either way, you're not alone in this.
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 Patterson 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 Patterson, we start by listening. That first conversation is simply about understanding what you're facing and what concerns matter most to your family. There's no pressure to commit to anything before you're ready. We build our approach around your specific situation and the people you love, not from 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.

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.
