What is an Interventionist?

Asked by Fernando Vazquez on March 18, 2024

An interventionist is a trained professional who specializes in facilitating interventions for individuals struggling with addiction, substance abuse, or other destructive behaviors. Their primary role is to guide the intervention process, assist family members and loved ones in planning and executing the intervention, and help facilitate communication between all parties involved.

Interventionists typically have backgrounds in counseling, psychology, social work, or addiction treatment. They often have extensive experience working with individuals and families affected by addiction and are knowledgeable about various treatment options and resources available.
