About Systemic Intervention©
Systemic Intervention Associates deal with two primary types of interventions, Family and Executive. (need the rest of this paragraph)
Family Interventions
Families of people who are experiencing problems with a mood altering substance often feel as if their situation is hopeless and that “they have tried everything”. They have often turned to the traditional form of intervention which is based in a crisis orientated model. This model has as it’s focus the person with the chemical problem. Often it has resulted in a stress filled experience for everyone and is rarely effective in the long view. The long term consequences to the family relationships are often felt for years afterwards.
The history of this model has led to a belief that it is the last resort to address someone with this illness. This has resulted in the disease progressing far beyond necessary and compromises the prognosis for both the individual and the family.
Systemic Intervention offers an alternative. We have designed a model that addresses the disease in a gentle and respectful way. No confrontation, no shame, no painful memory recall events. We offer a model of invitation, of recovery for the whole family, of new ways to operate with each other while eliminating the debilitating results of chemical dependency.
Executive Interventions
Quite simply, an executive intervention is a strategically planned
confrontation. During an executive intervention, the immediate and/or senior management of a chemically dependent executive confronts her or him in a non-judgmental manner, with evidence of how the disease has affected work performance. A corrective course of action is described and the consequences of denying or refusing this option are made clear. The process is guided by a highly trained intervention professional who provides information, training and support to participants and to the chemically dependent person. Without professional guidance, a confrontation can increase both the denial and hostility, making successful intervention more difficult. |
