Alcohol Addiction Intervention Services
Alcohol addiction is often hidden behind high-functioning behavior, social norms, or silent struggles. Families may sense something is wrong—missed workdays, mood swings, defensiveness—but feel unsure how to confront it without pushing their loved one away.
At Interventions With Love, we specialize in compassionate, structured alcohol interventions designed to break through denial and guide families toward healing.
We understand that alcohol use disorder (AUD) doesn’t just affect the individual—it affects the entire family system. Our intervention services provide the clarity, direction, and support needed to help your loved one access treatment while empowering you to begin your own recovery journey.
Hi, I’m Gianna
I am Gianna, a Certified Intervention Professional (CIP), Certified Family Recovery Specialist (CFRS), and Certified Recovery Coach (CRS). My dedication lies in assisting individuals and families navigate the complexities of addiction and untreated mental health conditions. By employing evidence-based practices and a compassionate approach, I strive to facilitate interventions that lead to meaningful and lasting change.
"Our family was desperate to save our son who was diagnosed with late stage alcoholism. He was dying before our very eyes and he himself had no idea. I was guided to Gia, and for this I am eternally grateful. The intervention brought the absolute most valuable people in my son’s world to a place where he would be able to heal and grow physically and mentally. We were told by medical staff that should he not receive care and begin the process of recovery, he may not live many more months. And with that intervention, he chose inpatient treatment. We have our son back. This is a lifelong journey for all of us, but I can report that he is doing very well and we feel our son is back. We are grateful to Interventions with Love, and Gia. Without intervention he may very well be in the streets with not much chance of living. Intervention was and is critical to save a loved one.”
The Impact of Alcohol Addiction on Families
Alcohol addiction doesn’t just affect the person drinking—it ripples through the entire family system. When someone you love is caught in the grip of alcohol use disorder, the effects can feel like emotional whiplash. One moment, things seem manageable. The next, you're navigating broken promises, unpredictable behavior, or another sleepless night worrying where they are—or if they’re safe.
Many families live in silent chaos for years, trying to hold everything together. You might be doing the emotional labor of protecting your loved one, keeping the peace, or hiding the truth from others out of shame or fear. Over time, these survival strategies become part of daily life. But they also take a toll—on your health, your peace, and your relationships.
Common experiences for families include:
Walking on eggshells, unsure of when the next mood swing, argument, or outburst will happen
Constant anxiety or hypervigilance, wondering if your loved one is drinking, driving, lying, or in danger
Covering for them—at work, with the kids, to extended family or friends—out of love, loyalty, or exhaustion
Emotional or physical burnout, trying to manage everything while your own needs go unmet
Financial strain, from lost income, legal costs, or the burden of being the “responsible one”
Difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries, especially if past efforts to do so have been met with guilt, manipulation, or anger
Feeling blamed, judged, or deeply alone, especially when others don’t see what’s happening behind closed doors
You are not overreacting. And you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
At Interventions With Love, we believe that families deserve recovery, too. That’s why our intervention process doesn’t just focus on helping your loved one say “yes” to treatment—it also helps you begin healing from the patterns, roles, and emotional trauma that addiction often brings.
Our family support includes:
Compassionate coaching on setting boundaries and breaking enabling cycles
Education on how addiction affects the brain, body, and behavior
Guidance on what to expect during treatment and recovery
A safe space to process your own emotions, fears, and hopes
Family support sessions to build resilience and connection
Even if your loved one isn’t ready for help, you can begin to change the system that keeps everyone stuck. And sometimes, that shift alone is what opens the door to real change.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions and Alcohol Use
Many of the individuals and families who come to us are navigating more than one diagnosis or concern. It's common for untreated mental health conditions to coexist with other behaviors or disorders that further complicate the path to recovery. These overlapping struggles can make it difficult for families to know where to turn—or even where to begin.
Why Our Approach Works
When co-occurring disorders are present, a one-size-fits-all treatment plan isn’t enough. We take a whole-person, whole-family approach—looking beyond the symptoms to understand the "why" behind the behaviors. We collaborate with treatment centers that are equipped to treat both mental health and co-occurring conditions, and we stay closely involved to ensure care is truly integrated.
From the first call through treatment and beyond, we walk alongside families to untangle the complexities, rebuild trust, and support long-term recovery—for everyone involved.
Alcohol use disorder is often entangled with untreated mental health conditions, including:
Depression or suicidal ideation
Anxiety or panic attacks
Trauma or PTSD
Bipolar disorder
Personality disorders
In many cases, individuals use alcohol to numb emotional pain or quiet internal distress. That’s why we only recommend dual-diagnosis treatment centers—programs equipped to treat both substance use and mental health. A true path to recovery must address the whole person.
Our Approach to Alcohol Addiction Interventions
Every family, every story, and every individual is different—which is why our interventions are never one-size-fits-all. We take time to understand your loved one’s behaviors, mental health, environment, and history so we can craft a plan that’s both compassionate and strategic.
Our intervention process includes:
Comprehensive Family Assessment: We start by listening. What’s been happening? What have you already tried? We’ll assess the severity of alcohol use, any co-occurring issues, and how family dynamics may be unintentionally enabling the problem.
Customized Intervention Planning: We collaborate with you to design a clear, effective intervention strategy. We walk you through every step—from identifying the right treatment program to preparing what each family member will say.
Pre-Intervention Coaching: You’ll never go into this alone. We provide detailed preparation sessions with the family to build unity, establish boundaries, and practice the language of love—not blame.
Intervention Day Facilitation: On the day of the intervention, we guide the process with calm leadership, compassion, and clarity. The goal is not confrontation—it’s connection, truth, and offering a way out.
Treatment Coordination: We work only with trusted, accredited alcohol treatment centers—offering both detox and long-term care. We ensure that your loved one is placed in a program that addresses both the addiction and any underlying mental health conditions.
30 Days of Case Management: Once your loved one says “yes,” our work continues. We stay involved, ensuring follow-through with treatment, offering weekly check-ins, and supporting the entire family as you adjust to new boundaries and roles.
Is It Time for an Intervention?
Knowing when to step in can be difficult. Alcohol misuse often escalates gradually, and many families adapt to the chaos it brings—until a crisis forces action. But you don’t have to wait for rock bottom. When families intervene, they raise their loved ones bottom before they risk losing everything most valuable to them.
If your loved one is showing any of the following signs, it may be time to consider a professionally guided intervention:
Increased tolerance or frequent intoxication
Secretive drinking or hiding alcohol around the house
Irritability, mood swings, or defensiveness when questioned about drinking
Neglected responsibilities at work, home, or school
Legal issues, DUIs, or reckless behavior while under the influence
Frequent blackouts or memory gaps
Drinking to cope with stress, trauma, or mental health symptoms
Physical signs like shakiness, bloated appearance, or poor hygiene
Failed attempts to quit or cut back
Deteriorating relationships, isolation, or emotional withdrawal
When these patterns become normalized, families can feel paralyzed. An intervention provides a way forward—anchored in love, truth, and action.
These signs can feel overwhelming to witness, especially when you’ve already tried so hard to help. An intervention creates a moment of truth—with love, clarity, and a clear plan for support. Together, we can shift the trajectory toward healing.
If you’re seeing these signs and wondering what to do next, I invite you to reach out. Let’s talk about how I can help support your family.
