ADDICT INTERVENTION AT PACIFIC HILLS DELIVERS A 97% SUCCESS RATE

Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, Inc., a premier rehabilitation program for drug and alcohol abuse finds success with intervention services.

When an alcoholic or drug addicts behavior progresses to the point that family members are motivated to take steps toward treatment, consultation with a treatment center will bring relief and direction as to the next steps toward health that can be taken. Often the resistant abuser will require professional intervention services.

For a spouse or other family members considering the services of an interventionist, education is critical to process. For a family to understand the need and process of intervention, they must first understand the nature of substance abuse.

According to Norm Boshoff, professional interventionist and spiritual advisor at Pacific Hills Treatment Centers, it is important for the family to recognize that intervention is an act of great love. He states, “It is a process by which loving family and friends help break the illusion of the addict briefly to enable him to see that he has a serious problem and needs help immediately.”

For over fifteen years, Pacific Hills has served families suffering from substance abuse and is committed to walking the pathway to sobriety – one step at a time! Call today for free information.

Testimonials

When I came to Pacific Hills in December 2000, I felt like I was living in Hell.  I was severely depressed, having suicidal thoughts, drinking and using cocaine on a daily basis, working 12-14 hours a day and trying to raise my 3 year old daughter after recently divorcing her father.  Although my world had not crashed down on me yet, I felt as though it was going to at any moment.  I had tried many, many times to get my drinking and drug use under control by myself; without treatment and was finally pushed into treatment by my parents.  I had NO intentions of staying sober, I didn’t think that I could live life without drinking nor did I want to.  And then began the magic.

First, I have to say, I found friends at Pacific Hills. I met counselors and house managers that made me feel like they really wanted to help me get better and feel better. They were friendly and approachable and I felt comfortable opening up and talking to them.  They helped me get past the shame and anger that I was feeling.  I remember feeling like everybody else knows there is a good person inside this body; why can’t I see it and why don’t I feel it?

One of the things that helped me the most was the Intense therapy I received at Pacific Hills. Both the group counseling and the one-on-one counseling with the therapists were extremely helpful. I had so much emotional pain that I was stuffing inside of me that went back to my childhood.  My parents were divorced when I was a year old and fought every time they exchanged me, my mom was an alcoholic and was emotionally and verbally abusive when she drank, sexual abuse, always feeling I was different than everybody else growing up.

I remember one therapist drawing a picture of an iceberg above water and then the ice below water. He explained that the ice below the water represented our “stuffed feelings” and the actual iceberg above water represented our destructive behavior.  That helped me understand my own actions and still sticks with me 10 years later.

Pacific Hills also took us out to local CA/AA/NA meetings.  This was helpful in hearing other people share their stories. I got to hear others speak that had been clean and sober for 5, 10 & 20. This gave me hope! And helped me so when I got out of treatment, I still had the support system of these meetings that I already felt comfortable in.

Pacific Hills taught me how to live life again without the use of drugs and alcohol and enjoy life. I found my happiness again. They helped me tear down all of my inner pain and rebuild my foundation of life in a healthy way.

Today I like myself. Sure, there are things that I am not happy with, but I don’t let my imperfections become destructive.

Going through treatment and surrendering was one of the most difficult things I have done in my life. However, I would not change that part of my life because today I am happier and healthier than I have ever been.
