As such, it has never been more important to have both highly effective and ethical approaches for interventions from a certified and credentialed interventionist. My level of devotion to increasing the standard of intervention certifications across the industry and its many specializations also led to the development of my own education program for professionals. Helping professionals become the best practitioners they can be, to help facilitate the likelihood of higher intervention successes and meeting client’s needs.
Patricia firmly believes in fairness, equality, and the power of self-dignity in recovering from alcohol and/or drugs.
