The Basics
Based out of Wilmington, North Carolina, Whole Families Intervention Services is owned and operated by certified Arise interventionists, Frances Murchison and Kelly M. Chambliss. Whole Families Intervention Services offers recovery coaching, sober support and transportation services for individuals going to or from treatment. It is available to adults and adolescents who are dealing with addiction, eating disorders and/or co-occurring disorders.
The Background
The founder, Murchison and Chambliss both have several decades in sobriety themselves. After getting sober in their 20s, they decided to commit their lives to helping individuals and their families find recovery. They make it their goal to help connect clients to the right treatment program and offer long term support as well.
The Approach
The intervention process begins with a phone call from the concerned party to Whole Families. The team asks specific questions regarding the client’s history along with questions about the family dynamic. If the loved one and interventionist feel that it’s a good fit, the next step is to make an agreement in terms of what the intervention will entail and what the families participation will be.
In order to prepare sufficiently for the impending intervention, the family members meet the treatment team to go over what the process will look like and what to expect. The treatment team makes themselves available for as long as the family members need in order to assist in the preparation, and are there to answer any and all questions. During this initial meeting there is also discussion of where the client will go for longer term treatment. The interventionists present several options that suit the client’s specific needs, and set a date for the actual intervention.
The intervention itself is not a surprise; the client is invited to participate in the process. There is an emphasis on how family members must approach the client with love and compassion and steering clear of any blaming or shame, along with being totally open and honest throughout the intervention. If the client agrees to go to treatment, the team presents the chosen treatment facility and gives the specifics of what they will experience while there.
Whole Families Intervention Services works with a number of treatment facilities that include residential, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and home, online program along with recommending 12-step support within the community.
Post Intervention and Summary
Clients and family members receive concentrated care for at least the first 90 days after the client leaves treatment, and Whole Families Intervention Services continues to stay in touch for about a year. Once the client agrees to treatment, they also make recommendations for the family members to attend counseling, Al-Anon, and codependency programs.
