Intervention Service Alternative
Family Liasion Services
The JTP Family Liaison is a Jude Thaddeus Program specialist whose primary purpose is to provide accurate information and to help substance abusers and their families communicate more effectively. The Family Liaison is an experienced JTP instructor and/or program director who can provide free consultation over the phone to guide families on ways to approach their loved one about substance abuse (or other habitual behavior) problems. The Family Liaison is also available (for a fee) for on-site consultations, family meetings, one-on-one meetings with the substance abuser, to educate the family about substance abuse and the JTP, or as a traveling companion for the substance abuser to ensure his/her safe arrival to a Jude Thaddeus Program location.

Family Liaison Services
The Family Liaison does not provide Intervention Services nor do we recommend such services to families as the process of ambushing a person and forcing them into a treatment program is not only ineffective, but cruel and harmful.
Many times the primary objective for the family liaison is to help the family and substance abuser to understand each other; and their respective opinions, concerns and wishes. |

Primary Differences between Intervention Services and the JTP Family Liaison
|
Interventionist |
JTP Family Liaison |
Measure of Success |
Person forced into treatment. (The treatment program chosen is usually the highest bidder rather than what would be most effective for an individual.) |
Substance abuser makes positive, lasting lifestyle changes, regardless of how those changes are achieved. |
Methodology |
Confrontational in nature; coercive; in some cases abusive; fear as the primary motivator; group ambush with loved ones; negativity as a catalyst for action. |
Mediation between family and substance abuser; educating with facts and research; providing all options; listening to all parties and helping each come to an understanding of the other. Helping all to make informed decision. |
Length and Extent of Services |
1-2 day on-site visit. Services typically end when person enters treatment program. |
2-3 day average on-site visit, but length of visit can be personalized based on the family’s needs. Services continue indefinitely throughout program and after program completion. |
Costs |
One price plus expenses regardless of services provided. High cost, low value. |
Varying levels of cost depending upon services requested. Affordable. Great value, as services continue indefinitely. |
Success Rate |
5% - 20% with 12 Step/Disease based treatment methodology. |
30%-75% depending upon whether or not the person attends and completes the JTP. |
Which would you choose for your family? |
Confrontational ambush designed to scare/coerce your loved one into treatment program that research has shown may actually decrease his/her chances of ever making a lasting positive lifestyle change. |
Kindness, empathy, compassion and accurate information designed to provide all options to family and substance abuser so both can make an informed and rational decision. |
