The Background

The Approach
Primary Recovery Services offers many programs, including sober companion, sober escort and intensive case management. The intervention specialists on staff perform an in-depth assessment of the client and gathers as much information as possible about their addiction from their family members, then designs a personalized intervention plan. The agency’s goal is to treat the entire family in the intervention process. Part of that means educating them about the disease of addiction and its consequences and uniting the family during the intervention. In some cases, the specialist will stage a rehearsal, which helps prepare the loved ones for what the process looks like.
Primary Recovery Services also works out the details with the treatment facility, and then maintains a relationship with the client while in treatment. In order to make sure the client gets to the facility without incident, they offer transportation services to and from. The specialists are also able to help with aftercare planning, whether it’s a sober living home, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)—or both—in their own community. Additionally, there are resources for treatment, like Al-Anon, that the interventionist offers the family, as well as counseling and support services.
Once the client leaves treatment, sober companion services are offered, which may entail helping the individual get a sponsor and attend 12-step meetings, or re-enter into the work force.
