A Letter

To Families

Dear Families,

As the founder of Wagner Intervention, I am passionate about recovery and helping chemically dependent people in to treatment.  Combining my personal experience in recovery along with over a decade of professional experience in the field of addiction, I have created unique, innovative interventions for hundreds of families.  An intervention can not be a "one size fits all" approach.  I believe in meeting each individual patient at the place where they are by customizing an intervention best suited for the individual and guiding the individual and their loved ones through their personal journey of recovery, breaking down barriers, and giving each person the opportunity to recreate their lives to live clean and sober.  I promote a comprehensive long-term treatment plan which leads to sustainable growth and long-term recovery.

I wholeheartedly believe in the necessity to include family members, significant others, or friends in the intervention process.  As a person with addiction suffers mentally, emotionally and spiritually, often so does their family.  Creating an intervention business that focuses on the family as well as the patient was one of my main purposes for forming Wagner Intervention.  Addiction is highly regarded as having a poor success rate for long-term recovery; however, that does not have be the case, especially when a family is involved with an individual's intervention and treatment.  Addiction is a disease and a family disease too.  Even if the person suffering does not want help, I offer services that can help the family recover.  Everyone needs to be on the same page to have the highest potential for a person with substance abuse to return to health and recover from addiction.

I understand that many of you may feel burnt out from your attempts to help and support your loved one because of the disease of addiction.  Please don't stop the support now.  Many of my clients have been through multiple treatments and their loved ones are feeling tired, hopeless and helpless; yet, they keep on fighting.  Keep fighting with them.  By working together, my hope is that this is their last treatment and that the seemingly endless cycle stops here.

I sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to meeting and working with you and your loved one.  

Sincerely,

Joe
