At Drew Horowitz & Associates, we understand that deciding to pursue an intervention can be an emotional and overwhelming decision. Whether you’re a family member, a close friend, or a professional referent, you want to know what to expect — and more importantly, how it will help your loved one or client take the first step toward recovery.
Our team has walked with hundreds of families through this process, offering guidance that is not only clinically informed but deeply compassionate. From the moment you reach out, we’re here to listen, answer questions, and begin building a path forward.
The First Step: Reaching Out
The intervention process begins with a confidential phone call. During this first conversation, we’ll gather background information, learn more about your concerns, and determine how our team can best support you. You’ll never be met with judgment — only understanding and guidance.
Our intake team, administrative staff, and licensed clinicians work closely together to make the experience seamless. We know this is likely one of the hardest decisions you’ve ever made, and our job is to carry as much of the burden as we can.
We also believe that interventions should never be about tearing someone down. Our philosophy is based on encouragement, respect, and building trust — with both the individual and their support system.
Planning the Intervention
Once we’ve gathered enough information, our clinical team will begin crafting a customized intervention plan. This includes coordinating logistics, identifying key participants, and offering guidance on how to write and present impact statements. These letters are a central part of the process and allow participants to share how a loved one’s behavior has affected them — with love, clarity, and sincerity.
We’ll also walk you through what to say, how to prepare emotionally, and what to expect during the intervention day. Our experienced interventionists facilitate the process calmly and with confidence, keeping everyone focused on the goal: getting your loved one into treatment.
The Day of the Intervention
On the day of the intervention, our team arrives early to set the tone. We lead a pre-intervention meeting with participants to review the structure, answer last-minute questions, and make any necessary adjustments. When the intervention begins, your licensed interventionist will take the lead, but you will be supported and empowered throughout.
Emotions often run high during an intervention, but our team is trained to manage even the most challenging moments with compassion and care.
Safe, Compassionate Transport and Continued Care
If your loved one agrees to treatment, our team can arrange and provide safe, supervised clinical transportation to the treatment center. These services ensure a smooth, stress-free transition and prevent any disruptions in care. Our professionals are trained to offer both emotional support and clinical oversight along the way.
But our involvement doesn’t end when the intervention is over. We offer post-intervention support, including progress updates, family communication coaching, and referrals for ongoing care or additional services. Long-term recovery is the ultimate goal, and we work to lay the groundwork for that success.
The Drew Horowitz Difference: A Human-Centered Experience
What truly sets us apart is the experience we create. From the very first call, clients and families consistently tell us that they felt heard, respected, and supported. Our clinical and administrative teams work in harmony to remove barriers, offer solutions, and provide comfort in moments of chaos.
We focus on empowering individuals and families — not through confrontation or shame, but through understanding, hope, and practical tools. Whether you’re engaging with our intervention specialists, sober companions, transport professionals, or case managers, you’ll find that every person on our team shares a commitment to dignity, professionalism, and healing.
At Drew Horowitz & Associates, we walk beside you — not just during the intervention, but in the days, weeks, and months that follow. Recovery doesn’t start with treatment. It starts with courage — and the experience you have with us matters every step of the way.
