Ward’s Intervention

Blanchard Addiction Resources views interventions as a process, not an event. It has been proven that the best results occur when the entire family is involved in the Recovery process. Ward Blanchard’s Intervention and Crisis Management employs the most progressive, evidence-based treatment approach used to treat mental illness and addiction. Cultivated through a decade of experience working with the most premier treatment centers and addiction professionals in the world, Ward Blanchard’s “Invitational Model” includes the entire family and support system. A combination of Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and evidence-based theories, Ward’s caring and empathetic approach provides a knowledgeable, safe, and comfortable experience during your family’s time of crisis.

Ward believes in guiding and helping families establish a firm foundation in recovery and healthy behaviors. Addiction and mental illness are diseases that can rob an individual of their self-awareness and livelihood. They are often unaware of the consequences of their behavior, the degree of their addiction, and its influence on their family and support system. Ward’s intervention approach aims to provide awareness and help the suffering individual recognize the scale of the problem and convince him or her to seek immediate help. Addiction and mental illness carry stigmas and characteristics that riddle suffering individuals with unspoken shame, guilt, and remorse. Helping individuals see that they are not bad people – just sick and in need of treatment—is an integral part of the process. Families need awareness of their own behaviors, as well. Treating and supporting the ENTIRE family provides the best opportunity for the suffering individual to discover long term recovery and a happy, healthy life!
