Substance abuse and chemical dependency (including alcohol) are prevalent issues and can be one of the most devastating mental health challenges for an individual. Friends and family of those who suffer from substance abuse and dependency are often affected. Two of the greatest challenges to overcome is the initial denial by the individual that a substance abuse issue or problem even exists, and then knowing what the best course of action/intervention is once the problem has been identified.

Dr. Sanchez can help you in developing a plan of action suited to your individual circumstances.

Dr. Sanchez can arrange an intervention to see that the addict receives the necessary treatment he/she needs and beyond.

An intervention is a carefully crafted process that directs a non-compliant person towards help and treatment. A trained interventionist coordinates friends, family and sometimes co-workers to facilitate this process. Usually led by a professional, an intervention brings the concerned individuals together to take action to help a person that needs assistance.
