Intervention Style: Steven’s intervention model is tailored to fit each individual situation, but when possible always includes components of the ARISE Model, where family members and/or other loves ones are encouraged not only to support the addicted, but also to begin their own path of recovery.
Steven believes that immediately educating the family and/or other loved ones on addiction, co-dependency, enabling and the reality of the condition of the one they are trying to help, allows them to be able to make effective choices and develop a new sense of compassion for the one suffering.
His intervention model does not involve deception, anger, insult, humiliation, or unrealistic ultimatums. He does not threaten. He sees an intervention as an act of love, with the end result being the gift of recovery offered to the loved one. The one suffering is to be treated with dignity and respect.
