Arise® comprehensive care with intervention

An ARISE® intervention is a gentle but comprehensive intervention to help a person struggling with addiction, as well as their family. It has been shown to help individuals achieve long-term recovery.

Through an ARISE® intervention:

83 percent of those suffering with addiction get into treatment within three weeks
96 percent enter treatment in six months
61 percent are sober by the end of the first year

What is an ARISE® Intervention?

The ARISE® Comprehensive Care Intervention is a model of intervention developed by Dr. Judith Landau and Dr. James Garrett in the early 1990s. This is a joint intervention that involves family members and others close to the person. The key difference between this model and the Johnson model is that an ARISE® intervention is hosted over several months, and is an Evidence Best Practice Method aimed at healing both individuals and families.

How does the ARISE® Intervention Work?

This process is called a compassionate invitational intervention. This means that the person struggling is invited to participate: they are not shocked, tricked, or surprised into an intervention. It is a process of gentle, respectful, and gradually escalating family meetings that take place over several months. This encourages the person to seek treatment throughout a path of least resistance. The benefits of intervening in this way are that it limits the amount of shame, disappointment, and guilt the person might otherwise feel in a confrontational intervention.

Intervening from a position of love and respect provides for a solid foundation of support and healing for both the individual and their family.

The ARISE® Comprehensive Care starts when the person with substance use disorder enters treatment, and lasts for six months. The meetings follow a particular process: A First Call Meeting, and then a First Meeting. The interventionist will help build a support network that can be mobilized to create an Intervention Network whose goal is to motivate their loved one into treatment. The interventionist will also encourage the family, and the individual, to become involved in a suitable support group for their continued recovery.

Throughout the process the interventionist will also work with the individual, the treatment center, and the family to ensure that the person completes treatment and resolves the root causes triggering addictive behaviours, as well as ensuring they have the tools and resources to prevent them from returning to use.

Why is the ARISE® Model Successful?

According to the ARISE® Network, the model was compared by researchers Fernandez, Begley, & Marlatt (2006) who found that it works more successfully because:

“The Intervention Network remains involved in collaboration throughout intervention, treatment & early recovery
The process relies on the inherent strength, motivation, and resilience of the family
The focus is on individual AND family recovery and healing
Individuals are invited and motivated to enter and participate actively in treatment.”

Who is the ARISE® Intervention suitable for?

The intervention can be used for most people: teenagers, young people, families, individuals with co-occurring disorders, high-risk individuals, the elderly, veterans, trauma survivors, business executives, faith-based individuals, and many more.

" Testimonials

In the past year, I experienced the sudden and tragic loss of two close family members. Consequently, my alcohol consumption increased considerably. With increasing concern, my therapist and wife intervened quickly and arranged for me to go to Thailand for inpatient rehabilitation. Theo was hired to accompany me to the treatment facility. While I thought a travel companion was unnecessary, in retrospect I realize this was not a luxury — I was physically exhausted and confused and needed his help. Theo brought me to the airport, took care of the check-in, and was prepared to do everything for me throughout the flight. He even handled a missed connection swiftly. Once we arrived in Chiang Mai, a driver from the treatment center was there to pick us up. Even during the check-in, Theo stayed by my side, chatting with me and ensuring I was okay. Theo also left his contact details should I need to call him. We also kept in touch during my stay via email. The intensive supervision and my stay have been successful so far! I want to thank Theo enormously for his support and guidance.

After a 3 year and 3 month stretch of sobriety I had a relapse. I’ve known Theo during my sobriety but during my relapse our contact had faded a bit. When I came back in the program, Theo had become a professional Recovery Coach and I decided to hire him for 1 month. This was the best thing I could have done in my early recovery. He helped me to get things straight again by reminding me of the objectives I set for myself and helping me to achieve these objectives. He always let me make my own decisions but gave me his best advice as well. Now, 2 and a half month later I feel rock-solid in recovery again. Theo had helped me to regain my recovery-network and helped me to get closure on the things I had to do in order to remain in recovery. I would most definitely hire Theo again, and I would definitely recommend him. Theo helped me get my life back in order and we became even closer friends in the process. I’m forever grateful.

The purpose of this letter is to serve as a professional and personal reference for Theo de Vries. I have the pleasure of working with Theo in my team at peterterhorst.com. He is always reliable, hardworking and dedicated to helping others. He is a quick learning and is always eager to learn more. He has very good connections with the clients, and they seemed to appreciate his honesty and his compassion. He is committed to working with addicts seeking Recovery and I think he has a lot to offer this industry. I support his efforts to become a Recovery Specialist. I think he can make a difference in the lives of many.

I have known Theo de Vries for over a year now and whilst he has become a good friend I also have complete trust and respect for his ability and work as an addiction specialist. Theo has helped me with several cases over the last year, particularly doing great work with two Irish clients that I referred to him. Theo is exceptionally ethical and has so much to offer the addiction treatment industry. I look forward to Theo working closely with me in the near future.
