Interventions

We use a loving and non-confrontational intervention style.  It breaks down the wall of denial and allows the person to take the first step into recovery.  We work closely with the family and friends of those afflicted to gain a real assessment of their condition, personalities, history, and emotional state.  We help family and friends gain an understanding of the condition of addiction (regardless of the substance or behavior), so a more compassionate and caring approach can be made. 

Interventions have an 80% success rate.  It’s better to experience intervention by loved ones than in the back of a police car, in a hospital, or from a tragic accident.

Affordable Access to Detoxification and Inpatient Treatment Services

As part of our mission to bring affordable and readily accessible treatment options to the community, Bay Area Intervention has partnered with Support Systems Homes, Inc.  Accredited and licensed by the State of California, you and your loved ones will have access to the type of treatment and care that has helped thousands of people reclaim their lives and recover from alcoholism and drug addiction.

The duration of stay for In-patient/Residential Treatment programs varies.  We work closely with you and those you care about to find the right programs to support long term recovery.  Often, "detox" (detoxification) is necessary and is the first step in starting treatment.  More importantly substances like alcohol and benzodiazepine's ("benzos"...valium, librium, lunesta, xanax, etc, click here for an extensive list) requires medical detoxification*, in which our team provides expert medical and clinical staff to support this process. 

Upon stabilization, we work closely with the people in need of care and find the right treatment to increase their chances of long term recovery.

*Without professional medical and clinical care, the detoxification from alcohol and benzodiazpepine's has led to death.  Many people do not understand the gravity of this condition and often take for granted the tragic impact that can occur from non-medical detoxification from these substances.  If someone you know is trying to "detox" from these substances ALONE and without medical care, please contact your nearest medical facility and call us at (408) 497-0391 to arrange medical detoxification.

AfterCare Program (Follows In-Patient Treatment)

B.A.I. AfterCare program has a 90% success rate for those who complete our 6 month program. B.A.I. recognizes that everyone who comes into recovery has unique needs and we design a 6 month program around the individual. After Care gives the client the opportunity to begin rebuilding their lives while applying the techniques and tools they learn in our AfterCare Program. Many return to work, school and day to day life with new confidence and self-esteem in a short period of time. We work one on one with the client 3 to 4 times a week and we follow a structured three phase program for their success.

Wilderness Backpacking Experience (Summer 2012)

This trip is completely safe and has proven results. The teens and young adults embark on a 30 day wilderness backpack trip called “The Experience” where food and water is carried and/or hiked into them. They learn respect, gratitude and the 12 step model of recovery. This coupled with our After Care Program has produced results that are miraculous. The hikers are guided (1 guide per 5 hikers)  and GPS monitored 24 hours a day. They can be found quickly and easily if they run or get lost. We haven’t experienced anyone running or getting lost yet, but are reassured the rescue is quick and easy. They are provided all the gear food and supplies for the trip and no experience is necessary to attend “The Experience” Wilderness Backpack Workshop.
