Intervention to Durable Recovery: The Power of Family

Practical, helpful, hopeful information about intervention and family recovery from best-selling authors Jeff and Debra Jay.

Intervention to Durable Recovery: The Power of Family ” will be presented on Tuesday March 29, 2016, from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm; by Debra Jay and Jeff Jay; best-selling authors and counselors. There will be a reception preceding the presentation from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, with snacks, beverages, and an opportunity to meet and socialize. Addiction is often described as a “family disease” – but up until now, families have been mostly left out of the recovery equation. Involved, supportive families play a critical role in the recovery process, from initiation through long-term recovery. Through extensive work in intervention and family recovery, Debra Jay has developed highly effective, detailed Intervention and Structured Family Recovery™ processes that unlock the secrets of lasting sobriety – techniques that help addicted physicians attain lasting recovery - and make them available to families. The intervention process starts with a concerned family and the Structured Family Recovery™ process ends with a family recovery team that maximizes the potential for a successful outcome for all involved. This presentation will describe how to do an intervention and how to build a recovery team. The presentation will provide practical, helpful, hopeful information about intervention and family recovery that will both revolutionize recovery and bring recovery back to its roots. Jeff and Debra Jay are dynamic, highly experienced speakers whose materials are liberally interwoven with compassion, humor, personal stories and real-life descriptions.
