An intervention at Integrative Recovery Therapies looks nothing like what you've seen on television. It's a carefully planned conversation, structured and calm, where family members speak from the heart about what they've witnessed and what they're afraid of losing. We work with your family in advance to prepare every detail: who will be there, what each person will say, what boundaries matter most, and how to respond to different reactions. This is respectful dialogue, not ambush or ultimatum. When everyone arrives ready and aligned, something shifts. Your loved one feels the genuine concern underneath the words, and that matters.
Our team helps you get ready before the intervention happens. We listen to your specific situation, help you find language that rings true for your family, and talk through what happens next depending on how your loved one responds. If they're open to treatment that day, we move forward together. If they're not ready, we don't disappear. We stay connected to you and your family, helping you make sense of what happened and plan the next step when the time comes. You're not in this alone, and neither is your loved one.
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 Ruston 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 Ruston, we start by listening. That first conversation is about understanding what you're seeing, what worries you most, and what matters to your family. There's no pressure to decide anything that day. We build from there, at a pace that feels right, with a plan shaped by the actual people involved and their real circumstances.
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 Ruston, LA and the surrounding area.

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.
