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 is not an ambush. It's a carefully planned conversation, prepared weeks in advance with your family, where you speak from the heart about what you've witnessed and what you're worried about. Our clinical team helps you prepare every detail: who will be there, what each person will say, how to stay calm when emotions run high, and what realistic boundaries look like. We meet with you beforehand to make sure everyone is grounded and clear about the goal, which is to open a door to treatment, not to shame or force anyone through it.
Before the intervention happens, we work with you on what to say and how to say it. We discuss what treatment options might look like, what support your loved one might need, and what your family is genuinely willing and able to do. If your loved one says yes to treatment that day, we help move that process forward. If they're not ready, we don't disappear. We stay involved with your family, help you process what happened, adjust your approach, and plan next steps. Recovery is rarely a straight line, and neither is getting someone to accept help. We're here for the full journey.
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 Shreveport 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, we start by listening. That first conversation is about understanding your specific situation, your concerns, and what matters most to your family. There's no pressure to commit to anything before you're ready. We build from there, creating a plan that reflects who your loved one actually is and what your family truly needs.
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 Shreveport, LA and the surrounding area. We serve families in communities including Bossier City, Blanchard, Greenwood, and the broader Caddo Parish region. We offer intervention planning through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for families who need flexibility, and in-person sessions at our Metairie office are also available.
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.
