Intervention for Addiction and Mental Health
An intervention is a planned event organized by family & friends with an interventionist that is designed to encourage someone with addiction or a mental health diagnosis get treatment. Sometimes the individual needing treatment is unaware or in denial of how their addiction or mental illness impacts others. In other circumstances the person has resisted or avoided getting help, resulting in family and friends being concerned for the life and wellbeing of the individual.
When considering interventions for substance use disorders or mental health as a means to encourage someone to enter treatment, it’s important to have the support of a team of experienced professionals that takes a family systems approach. Often times an interventionist can be the initial catalyst for change by helping a family establish a plan for how to best help their loved one. A well designed intervention shows the individual that you care about them and that you recognize that they need help. Families will also work with the interventionist through a drug intervention program to set up healthy boundaries that hopefully encourage your loved one to get the help that they need.
What is an Interventionist?
An interventionist is a trained professional who has experience preparing families for an intervention, either for substance use disorder, mental health, or a combination of both. Trained intervention specialists have experience educating families, working through any potential barriers that would prevent the individual from getting help, and staging the intervention. By the time the intervention occurs your interventionist will have worked with you to identify the most appropriate treatment option for your loved one. Your interventionist will also work with you to provide transportation to Vanguard Behavioral Health, providing door-to-door care leading up to treatment.
What Happens After an Intervention?
Following an intervention, chances are your loved one will enter treatment and begin their journey of recovery. For families there is still a lot of work to be done. Because of the damage addiction and mental illness can have on a family system, we encourage families to get continued support for themselves. The intervention specialists we work with provide families with continuing education and support well beyond their mental health or substance abuse interventions, so that the whole family system can rebalance and heal. This approach to recovery provides both the loved one in treatment as well as the family the best chance at sustained lifelong recovery.

Mental Health and Drug Treatment in Albuquerque
The key to successful mental health or substance abuse treatment is having a unique tailored plan that is built for the individual. Vanguard assesses each person on an individual basis to get a good understanding of their needs and struggles. No matter whether an individual is dealing with mental health issues, addiction or both, we use our diverse collection of services to help them take those important steps in the right direction.
Mental Health Treatment
Disregarding your mental health is easy, even if you take good care of your physical body. However, taking care of your mind is just as important. There is no shame in needing help for mental health conditions. Sometimes, achieving a healthy mental state takes the guidance of a professional or even a team of professionals. Therapies such as intensive residential programs, one-on-one therapy or even medication may help you find a more peaceful emotional state.
Addiction Treatment
Substance abuse disorder usually means an individual is stuck in an ongoing cycle of risky behaviors and using substances that cause harm. Unfortunately, even though many people caught in addiction want to quit, the substance has such control that quitting leads to overwhelming physical and emotional distress. Adequate interventional therapy, both medical and psychological in many cases, is the only effective way to recover.

We Love Our Clients
“I can’t thank the staff enough for all their help & support during my journey.”
I came to Vanguard Behavioral with the hope to find a place for me to start over. I was homeless, completely dependent on a substance, and all out of ideas on how to fix my situation. I came in not knowing what to expect, but what I found was a full support team of professionals who really do care about the client. I can’t say enough good things about them….
…I can’t thank the staff enough for all their help and support during my journey. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without their support and care.

“The most effective & compassionate rehab in the state of New Mexico.”
Vanguard is by far the most effective and compassionate rehab in the state of New Mexico. My experience here has changed my life forever for the better. I now have a job at top golf and I’m moving into an apartment and that is directly a result of all of the work that the clinicians and the staff did with my on my mental health and my drug addiction. I spent 90 days here at Vanguard and God has blessed me in so many ways. I want to thank all of the staff for everything they have accomplished in helping people leave their substance use behind.
