Boca Raton FloridaThe Basics

ICM Associates of Boca Raton, Florida was founded by Kate Caravella, who serves as its current CEO. While the headquarters for ICM is based out of Florida, all services are available nationwide and internationally.

Providing intervention services for chemical dependency, eating disorders, gambling addiction, sex addiction and general mental health, ICM Associates is made of a team of professionals who guide families through the difficult process of seeking help. Due to Caravella’s experience, clients particularly seek her services for working with treatment resistant individuals. She also specializes in working with women, eating disorders, families in crisis and clients who have co-occurring disorders. She exclusively works with adults over the age of 18.

Caravella is the lead case manager and interventionist of ICM. She has worked in the mental health field for two decades and has experience with social work and women’s issues in tandem with addiction. Caravella’s credentials include Certified Addictions Counselor (CAC), Nationally Certified Addictions Counselor (NCAC), Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CDAC) and Certified Intervention Professional (CIP).

The Background

The original office of ICM Associates was first opened in August of 2001. After much success, Caravella and her team opened an additional office in 2003 in Madeira Beach. The intervention team is not openly in recovery but still dedicate their services to addicted populations and eating disordered clients.

The Approach

ICM approaches interventions with a team of two professionals, with staff and families working together to create an ideal and united intervention team. After an assessment with the family, the intervention team designs a private on-line portal which enables the family to stay connected. Treatment resources, communication lines and information are all included through the website. The private internet portal is open both throughout the treatment period and after to ensure the family stays connected and involved in the recovery process.

Prior to the intervention, the team meets with the family and loved ones to develop an intervention script using worksheets and guidebooks with support sessions to help develop scripts are available. A three- to four-hour rehearsal prepares the family for the actual intervention. The ICM team facilitates treatment by liaising with the agreed upon treatment facility, coordinating admission and transportation. Once the client agrees to treatment, the team stays in contact with the family and continues to support the individual.

Post-Intervention and Summary

Post-treatment support for the individual and the family is available. Time working with clients is not limited or restricted. Caravella and ICM staff are dedicated to seeing the entire recovery process through. For those interested in aftercare or sober living options, Caravella organizes a range of options. Twelve-step support is recommended for both the client and the family through Alanon and other support groups.
