Intervention

Our family was at wits end before we met Todd Zalkins. My 24 year old son was struggling with drug addiction- and we knew nothing about intervention. Todd was not only kind & compassionate, he prepared all of us for what was one of the most frightening days of our lives, the intervention itself. We are on the east coast and Todd flew out within a few days to handle what we thought was really our last shot to help my son. Todd handled it all with grace & dignity…the intervention was a success and arrangements were made to transport “Kevin” to Southern California for treatment. It’s the best thing we ever did…thank you for helping save our son’s life Todd, and giving him a shot at a new life.
We had heard of Todd’s book through a friend of ours- and couldn’t believe what he had survived after reading it. We also knew he was the right fit to intervene on my husband, a bright, successful man, whose life was being destroyed by painkiller addiction. Todd’s presence and way of handling not only us, but my husband as well throughout the intervention was a godsend. I know the addict has to do the work to stay clean and sober, but I’m convinced that our lives changed for the better as a result of working with Todd…and my husband is grateful to be living a clean and sober life.
Having Todd at East Carolina University was such an amazing opportunity. Our students wanted a keynote speaker who could engage college students with a relevant story and Todd definitely delivered! We had the added bonus of having him also bring his documentary The Long Way Back. I’ve seen a lot of documentaries on addiction and recovery, this film approaches the subject in such a way that is both educational on the process of addiction and recovery, but also entertaining without over-glamorizing the “rock and roll lifestyle” that ultimately created the environment for his addiction to manifest. I can’t really put into words how invaluable Todd being a part of our awareness week meant to our students and allies and the energy of our group since his visit back in September!

Intervention is essentially the “management of a crisis.” A professionally managed intervention has more than a 90% success rate with getting your loved one into the treatment setting that best suits their needs. Todd & his team of experienced interventionists have worked with hundreds of families all over the United States (and beyond)- resulting in the admitting of their family member into the best treatment setting based upon their needs. Interventions take place over a two day period.
Day one, is the pre-intervention where we prepare family members/friends who will be present at the intervention. This takes anywhere from 4-6 hours, and all questions/concerns are addressed, with everyone having a full understanding of how the intervention will flow.
Day two: Intervention! We have had interventions done in less than ten minutes, and we’ve had them go as long as 9 hours. The bottom line is that we are there as long as it takes to get your loved one to commit to giving treatment a chance to help change their lives.
We are here to help your family during this extremely difficult time, to walk through this process with dignity, love, and compassion to ensure the addict/alcoholic gets relief, as well as the entire family.
