Treatment Consultation

Do you feel lost trying to find the best residential treatment facility for you or your loved one?

  • How do I determine the right fit?

  • Whose advice should I trust?

  • Is there a professional with no hidden agenda, who will assist me?

You may have already spent hours doing online research. Perhaps you talked to doctors and friends or read numerous online websites and reviews. But the advertising and marketing of every treatment facility promotes their care and record of success to be the very best available. But your head and heart doubt the hype. One review of a facility you are considering claims, It’s the best – they saved my life! Another review of this same institution warns prospective clients, It’s horrible! Don’t send your loved one here. It’s all so confusing. How do you make an intelligent decision?

You are feeling alone and incapable of making this choice.

Your family doesn’t have to figure this out on your own. As a recognized expert in this field, I will walk you through the steps enabling you to discover the optimum treatment plan. I will listen to your unique concerns, so together, we arrive at a solution that suits your particular needs. There are a lot of variables to consider. Putting one’s life on hold while you focus on treatment for a minimum of three weeks, upward to ninety days, or even 6 months, is no easy task. I will consider all of the aspects of your life and assess the level of care and services that will most enhance the chances of long-term sobriety for you or your loved one.

It is unnerving not knowing who to trust and where to seek guidance.

I have worked with countless clients and family members stressing over this process. The pressure you are under to “get it right” feels enormous. This is such a competitive market in an attempt to drum up business, some “industry giants” install placement specialists – so-called recovery advocates in emergency rooms at local hospitals. Their purpose is to quickly place you directly into their facility during your moment of crisis and heightened vulnerability. This practice effectively eliminates any comparison shopping.

I’m here to help

Having more than a decade in the dual diagnosis substance abuse clinical therapy field, encompassing both in-patient and outpatient settings, I’ve learned a lot about this industry that now has so many options. I’ve learned where I’d feel comfortable sending my loved ones to not just get sober, but to learn how to stay sober. I have no affiliation with the facilities that you could choose. I do not get paid by any of them or receive fees for referrals. I’m an advocate whose professional strategy will be completely “you centered” and solution oriented, as I listen to you and your family’s wants, needs and worries- with no sales pitch.

I can reassure and guide you in this time of need
