In their words
What families and clinicians say
I can’t begin to express my gratitude to John and Torchlight!
He has completely transformed my life and that of my entire family dynamic as well!
He not only is brilliant and knows his stuff, but he is caring, compassionate and goes above and beyond to deal with the inner workings of the family dynamics in the face of addiction. He helped me establish a core team of OUTSTANDING professionals and in a short amount of time I went from jobless and hopeless to a full-time career, with management opportunities in the very near future.
I can’t thank John enough for completely changing my life – I wish I could keep him on forever. My gratitude towards him is endless.
John is a perfect combination of empathy, expertise, and experience.
We were fortunate enough to benefit from his knowledge during a time of crisis for our family. John helped us navigate the unfamiliar world of alcohol recovery programs, assisting us in choosing a high-quality program that would best meet the needs of our family member.
John’s rates are more than reasonable, his commitment and follow-through are unparalleled. For anyone who is experiencing the uncertainty and deep concern about a loved one experiencing a substance-related crisis, John is an invaluable resource. We are so grateful that we found him!
Common questions
Before you call, the questions families ask most
Is an intervention really necessary?
That question is best answered by asking yourself three questions:
The truth is, that while an intervention is a stressful thing to plan, the alternative, if your loved one doesn’t get the help they need, could be much more dire.
What is an intervention?
An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by one or many people – usually family and friends through the guidance of a trained professional interventionist– to motivate a loved one to seek professional help with an addiction or some kind of traumatic event or crisis, or other serious problem.
Why would we need an interventionist? Can’t we just do the intervention ourselves?
The benefit of having a professional lead the intervention is that the interventionist has no emotional attachment to the family or the addicted individual. We are able to see the situation more clearly without the emotions involved. With a professional in charge of the intervention, we neutralize the negative dialogue that usually happens when families attempt to approach the addicted individual alone. Generally what happens when families go at it alone is that it ends in a yelling match or one family member accuses another for saying the wrong thing. This enables resentment to further drive a wedge into the family dynamic and keeps them in the problem instead of moving towards a solution and wellness for the entire family.
