Most clinicians spend the initial sessions gathering the necessary information to offer objective guidance. While well-meaning, it can be frustrating when immediate answers are needed. Our 3-step plan is effective for several reasons. Before Step 1, you, the family member, can reflect on your loved one’s substance use history without feeling rushed or having someone waiting for your responses to numerous questions. This process is also therapeutic. With over 30 years of experience, I can read between the lines, research your unique situation, and provide clear guidance. This approach has been effective for hundreds of families and can do the same for yours.

After completing the 3 Step sessions with a family member, I am willing to speak with the loved one. This is handled on a case-by-case basis.

Once again, this would be an option, but I would need to speak with the primary family person in advance. Often, a husband/wife may be out of town on business, etc. If it’s deemed important, then by all means, we can do that.
