In this meeting, we identify key participants in the intervention and consultation; obtain a thorough background and case history; identify leverage points we might have in moving forward; and provide families with resources for support during this difficult time.

We staff our interventions and consultations with a team built around your loved one’s needs–something that makes us stand out and facilitate better outcomes in the recovery space. Your loved one’s interests, wants, and needs will guide our selection of who is present. Oftentimes, this includes multiple people, such as a case manager, a second interventionist, family members, and a fully trained transport team.

Addiction intervention and consultation methods aren’t one-size-fits-all. We do not subscribe to any one modality. Instead, we gather as much information as we can and get to know your family extensively. Then, we strategize and present you with a realistic path forward that has the best chance of success for your loved one.

Initial in-person or virtual meeting where we work together as a team–Release Staff, Clinical Providers, your family and all other parties involved with care–to gather information about your current situation. 

Companions are assigned very carefully. We’ll match the right person to guide you through your unique situation safely. Depending on your circumstances, we may match you with more than one companion to provide round-the-clock support.

Sober companions provide a path forward to freedom. After your period of intensive support, you’ll begin to see your sober companion just a couple of times per week. The goal is to move you into a longer-term path to recovery. We don’t subscribe to the idea that clients should have a sober companion for years. If needed, we will recommend a higher level of care, like residential treatment and beyond.

Unlike run-of-the-mill transportation services, we staff our transport teams carefully. They are prepped to provide extra accountability and support as needed. Contrary to industry standards, all transportation services are staffed Release employees that have been trained in-house. We don’t use outside contractors. We take into consideration a client’s age, gender, stage of change, job, etc. and staff drivers and assistants accordingly.

While sober transport works best with people who know and are willingly going to treatment, some situations do require a level of coercing. In those cases, we lead with love.
