Special Message from Scott J. Watson

If you are reading this, chances are that you have a loved one stuggling with addiction.  For most families that means a mix of fear, worry, dread, anger and many attempts to help.  Nearly everyday, I hear a story of a person spinning out of control.  For some that means anger, rage and despair.  For others it means financial ruin, being locked up and medical, marital and vocational concerns. The good news is that we can help!

While addiction will impact each person and every family in a unique way, it doesn’t matter if a person uses alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, gambling, sex or prescription pain pills to change how they feel.  Addiction means that a person has experienced a loss of control in his or her life. At Heartland Intervention, we work to have people choose a life of recovery rather than a life of addiction.  It is a choice that I have made and a choice that your loved one can make as well.
Addiction is a family problem.  By that, I mean that the family frequently spends as much time caring for, worrying about, covering up and obsessing over the addicted person as she does getting, using and recovering from her substance of choice.  Another goal of intervention is to teach the family how to only support the addict in recovery rather than in their use.

People ask me all the time how and why I do interventions for a living.  The best reason is that I have a front row seat to watch people dramatically turn their lives around.  It is exciting to watch marriages heal, families reunite, financial pictures improve and people feel better about themselves.  None of that can happen when a person is trapped in addiction.

So don’t wait!  Call us at 877/752-8811 and we can begin the recovery process for you or your loved-one.
