For Treatment Centers

Too often, people leave treatment against medical advice. Our interventionists help families set boundaries and motivate their loved ones to stay in your program—even when their addiction is telling them to leave.

Addressing Challenges Faced by Treatment Centers

Helping people to recover is your business, but sometimes it seems like your clients don’t want to get better. Those caught up in the disease of addiction fight anything and everyone. Common behaviors we’ve seen include:

  • Leaving AMA
  • Non-compliance
  • Triangulation between treatment team and family members
  • Refusing to continue care through step-down programming
  • Lack of progression

These issues have created problems for treatment centers across the country. We’ve worked with rehabs that have low enrollment numbers in their IOP or sober living programs due to client departure. We’ve also seen that the above behaviors reduce insurance payouts, increase relapse rates, and slash the number of committed alumni who make referrals. Worst of all, client attrition leads to poor recovery outcomes. Fortunately, we have created intervention protocols that will work for your center. We coach treatment centers, families, and loved ones to motivate clients to stay in (or return to) treatment.

AWOL and AMA Interventions

Addiction treatment is a long-term, stressful process. Even after family members have spent a great deal of time and energy convincing their loved one to get help, there is no guarantee that the person with an addiction will stay engaged. As you know, many clients decide to leave treatment before their program has concluded—on average, this occurs within the first three to fourteen days.

That’s why Intervention On Call specializes in motivating clients who are prepared to leave AMA: against medical advice. We offer blueprints for effective, inspirational interventions for those on the edge of departure. Our years of experience have equipped us with the knowledge needed to counter arguments, allay fears, and catalyze a renewed excitement for recovery. Like you, we’ve seen and heard it all. We’re prepared to use all of our resources and expertise to keep your clients where they need to be. With advice and training from Intervention On Call, your center will be equipped to retain even the most resistant of clients.
