Intervention

Do you feel overwhelmed?

Have you been hoping that the situation will change?

Do you resent the person for how much pain he/she caused?

Have you become a caretaker/fixer?

Are you and your loved one emotionally suffering?  

Is the situation getting worse?

Intervention is a compassionate process which confronts peoples thoughts, feelings, and self destructive behaviors.  The purpose of intervention is to begin to relieve the suffering of the individual.  Therefore, intervention is appropriate for alcohol and drug addiction, bulimia, anorexia, certain mental heath conditions, and compulsive disorders.  

Addictive disorders and self defeating behaviors  can have devastating consequences to an individual as well as the family members.  You tried everything, from hiding alcohol to threatening to leave, yet the situation became worse.  Maybe it's time for you to seek professional help.  However, what if the person is struggling with a dual diagnosis  condition?

The term dual diagnosis or "co-occurring disorders" refers to an individual who has a primary mental health disorder, as well as some form of addiction.  More than 65% of the time, a person who is diagnosed with an addiction problem, may have a dual diagnosis condition.  Since alcohol and drug use can mimic symptoms of some mental health conditions, such as bi-polar, chronic depression, anxiety and/or personality disorders,  the proper intervention and treatment  must meet that individuals' needs.  Dual diagnosis is a gradual process.  As the individual continually suffers from the mental health disorder, the use of alcohol and drugs or prescription medications, increasingly becomes evident.  As a result, a person will continually self medicate in order to feel normal without realizing  they are becoming addicts. Dual diagnostic individuals require a specific intervention technique  in order to achieve a desired outcome. Over the years, Dr. Simon Casey has established a unique intervention style called "Dualvention Method" which is a highly specialized intervention strategy for this client population.

According to the National Institute on drug abuse, treatment does not have to be voluntary to be effective.  The longer the problem continues, the more difficult it is to
treat an individual.

Times have changed. The intervention of old days are no longer as effective since people are struggling with multiple disorders all at the same time.  If the intervention does not address all of these factors, not only  the outcome can be poor, but also the choice of treatment facility may not meet his/her needs.  After many years of dealing with dual diagnostic patients, Dr. Simon Casey created a unique intervention technique  through  a process of invitation but not confrontation  for a successful outcome.

The "dualvention method" is the process where mental health conditions and chemical dependency intervened simultaneously.  This one-of-a-kind comprehensive approach leaves nothing unanswered.  The mental health evaluation and medication needs are assessed during the second phase of the intervention.  The results shared with the individual in a loving, compassionate way in order to make them understand  how the process of  self medication has started and then turned into dependency.  The individual, for the first time, gains tremendous insight and understanding about the self which turns resistance into tears of joy.  The Dualvention Method is a superb process of transformation when it comes to turning a resistant and difficult individual into a hopeful, appreciative one.
