How We Work

Interventions Australia has developed a unique operations model integrating years of experience and research into the best possible ways of helping someone in crisis and those nearest to them.

Our services are flexible, uniquely customised to each situation and importantly, non-punitive, blaming or judging. We seek to involve all parties to an intervention in a compassionate and constructive forum where clear strategies and solutions can be agreed upon.

The Intervention Process

The starting point of an intervention is a comprehensive assessment with one of our trained intervention specialists.

Interventions can be requested by family, friends, or workplace colleagues.

If you are unsure about whether an intervention is suitable, a no obligations initial assessment of the situation can be arranged. This initial assessment, conducted by one of our highly experienced clinicians, will help you decide whether an intervention might be useful and can also help build initial support to move forward.
Should a facilitated intervention not be deemed suitable , alternative strategies can be explored such as educational sessions; i.e., teaching families what to say, how to say it in a non-shaming, positive and loving way showing all the family are on the same page and share the same message.
If following the initial assessment, an intervention is recommended , a comprehensive consultation will be conducted, with our clinicians speaking to as many potential participants as possible to customise the intervention accordingly.
We will research and evaluate all the possible treatment options available and prepare detailed summaries for all parties involved in the potential intervention.
We will determine the structure of the intervention required and plan to plan the event.
Depending on the approach the intervention can be performed in your location and preferably on neutral ground.
Usually, an intervention is conducted over 2 or 3 days in either the morning or afternoon. Our intervention specialists are available to answer any queries you may have after this time.

Finding the Right Treatment Facility

There are many different Treatment Facilities across Australia, each offering its own unique approach to treatment. Choosing which facility is the best match for your needs is not a straight forward process.

Some are dual diagnosis facilities, meaning they are equipped to support clients with both mental health and drug and alcohol issues. Many are private and their rates vary, and there are also government funded facilities that provide short- and long term programmes.

Choosing which facility is the best match for your needs is not a straightforward process and that is where we can help. Knowing the facilities available in Australia, and some overseas, what they offer in terms of a treatment mode and whether it will be a good fit for a client and give the client the best possible outcome. We can give you options of facilities, and the reasons why we think those facilities will be appropriate.
