The Basics
Located in Santa Cruz, California, interventionist Damon McGuire is a registered addiction specialist who runs Intervention Works, a consultancy firm from where he conducts executive and family interventions. McGuire, who has over 15 years of experience as an alcohol and drug counselor, believes that interventions are important for clients who clearly need help but refuse to get treatment. His additional credentials include Levels I and II certification in Therapeutic Communities. McGuire works on a private level and focuses exclusively on clients suffering from chemical dependency. He provides executive interventions for companies who suspect that their employees or colleagues need help. His belief is that intervention can be beneficial to helping a valuable employee, and to saving the company.
The Background
McGuire has been in the recovery field for over 15 years. He is open about his own sobriety and shares about his own personal journey from addiction to recovery during interventions.
The Approach
McGuire aims for a “controlled crisis,” which is an aggressive yet loving approach. Prior to the intervention, the procedure is rehearsed with the family and select friends. Additionally, information about the client is gathered, and a strategy is presented with the goal of getting the client into the appropriate level of care. During the intervention, the client is directly confronted and presented an ultimatum as well as solutions.
The family tells the client that they love the individual and that they can’t let this behavior continue. With McGuire’s assistance, they have located a residential treatment facility or detox. During the intervention, this is mentioned. If the intervention is successful, the client is transported to rehab or detox as soon as possible.
Post-Intervention and Summary
McGuire believes that each situation is unique, and customizes interventions according to the family and client’s needs. Additionally, he assists in the aftercare process, and provides case management services which allows him to monitor clients’ advancement through an addiction treatment program. For an interventionist who offers tough love with a personal touch, McGuire is a good choice.
