Heather Connors, ARISE Certified Interventionist

Using a compassionate Invitational Intervention®, the ARISE® Continuum of Care is a gradually-escalating process of respectful, gentle family meetings, that leads your loved one into appropriate treatment and recovery. Your Person of Concern is invited to join the process right from the beginning with no surprises, no secrets, no coercion, and absolute respect and love. The ARISE® process breaks t

he cycle of repeated disappointment, failure and fear, without the blame, shame, and guilt that accompanies the disease. It brings healing to family, friends and co-workers who come together to build a solid recovery network. It works because the entire network is involved, and every decision is made by the majority. There is no opportunity for the addicted individual to pressure anyone "one-on-one" which would let the disease win. The focus of ARISE® is on both individual and family healing and recovery.
