ARCS Interventions

The idea of "intervention" has become well-known in pop culture, since the A&E television show of the same name introduced it into mainstream consciousness.  However, successful intervention --- whether for substance addictions, behavioral addictions or any other set of trauma symptoms --- requires intricate design and synchronized application of a series of complex and highly-customized strategies.

In fact, scientists studying nicotine cessation have consistently documented a phenomenon with which substance abuse coaches have long been familiar:  The prognosis for recovery from any addiction --- or from any other other trauma-based symptoms --- increases exponentially, as additional points of intervention are implemented. 

So, what does this mean, exactly?  Well, smokers who employ not one, but two cessation methods - (1) the "patch" and (2) a support group, for instance - show a substantially greater statistical rate of sustained reform, than someone who tried either one cessation aid or the other.  Furthermore, when you add three, four and five cessation aids (or "points of intervention"), each tends to compound the effect of the other, quite literally multiplying the smoker's overall chance of becoming and remaining a non-smoker!

So, when ARCS coaches show up "on the scene" to craft a customized intervention, they bring with them a host of resources that are then woven into a personalized and multifaceted action plan.  Then, there is also a great deal of family orientation and education in order.  First, we assess each family member's role, in relation to the intervention beneficiary.  Then, we must also take into account each family member's specific needs.  For example, domestic abuse intervention most often commences by working with family and friends of the victim --- rather than with the victim, themselves --- and substance abuse intervention most often involves planning with family and friends, rather than directly with the addict.  Training family members and other loved for such an endeavor is much like conducting a symphony, wherein every person has their particular gift and contribution which complements the greater composition of motivating the sufferer to seek comprehensive help.

Not long ago, personalized intervention was available only to families possessing substantial socio-economic resources.  In fact, an on-site intervention tends to start at approximately $7,000, including travel, accommodations, assessment and coaching of the family, and development and implementation of a multidimensional intervention plan.  Now, with online technology, we can develop customized intervention strategies and teach families to carry them out effectively, at a fraction of the cost of any on-site intervention protocol.

Just as with any television or film production, making something refined takes a lot of work behind the scenes!  We can work with your family to motivate the survivor toward help.
