My brother-in-law was a struggling crack addict who was in denial about his situation and unwilling to seek treatment. He didn’t recognize the negative effects of his behavior on himself and others. Jeff Merrick, as an interventionist, presented a structured opportunity to make changes before things got even worse. Jeff’s resolve along with his knowledge and compassionate caring nature for both the team members and patient were outstanding.
Jeff plans out the process and keeps everyone informed as to their duties and responsibilities.He gathers information, builds an intervention team, and helps them to decide on specific consequences.
Communications between Jeff and team members is an integral part of the process.He manages the process and gets team members thinking along the same lines when it comes to consequences. He is always there to answer questions and explain what will happen next in the intervention process.
I’m happy to report my brother-in-law has been drug free for almost one year, and is working and contributing to society. Without Jeff, the outcome would have been far different.
