Intervention Services

Intervention services carry out the internal control of all acts that have an economic content, constituting its main objective to verify that they comply with the current regulations that apply to them. The users are the Governing Bodies that comprise the university structure, the Administrative Units, the Administration and Services Staff and the Teaching and Research Staff. Intervention intends to be a service that performs its internal control and supervisory functions based on legality, economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

Why Hire An Intervention Specialist?

Any addiction, if not interrupted, can progressively lead to something irreversible with final consequences of “no return”. The intervention of a professional is very effective because it is not only a process that could help the addict recognize the dire need for treatment but also teaches loved ones how to help the person with their problem.

When an intervention specialist is engaged in a supportive environment, the patient will have the presence of an impartial professional who will help keep the addict from falling into manipulative patterns with loved ones, which would ultimately be destructive to the overall goal of the intervention. Before the treatment, it is of great interest that the family and the patient’s environment hold various conversations to learn more about this process before starting it.

Family and friends who care about the addict may become complicit in their substance abuse problem. Hiring an interventionist is very useful to maintain balance and direct to a good end, avoiding the conflictive part and the addict’s predisposition to emotional sabotage of the arguments at stake, also controlling that they overflow with bad manners such as shouting, fighting, etc. He will help with his work so that loved ones can give the addict the kind of healthy love that he needs. The intervention accomplishes this by helping loved ones better understand their complicit behaviour to begin healing themselves.

The help of an interventionist is the first step towards the freedom of the entire set of people involved in the process.

Counselling Intervention

The counselling intervention focused on psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring. The school psychologist first introduced the triadic relationship between one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This was followed by teaching Alex to identify common maladaptive thought patterns (cognitive distortions) that impact one’s feelings and behaviours and prompting Alex to determine which cognitive distortions he most commonly experienced. Alex noted that he tended to think that others were thinking negative things about him (mind reading), and he tended to make negative predictions (fortune telling). After identifying how his thoughts contributed to his emotions and behaviours, he learned how to replace his cognitive distortions with more healthy and balanced thoughts. Homework activities were assigned to Alex between counselling sessions to reinforce his understanding and application of the introduced concepts. For example, Alex logged his thoughts (both maladaptive and adaptive), feelings, and behaviours in response to situations that triggered his negative thinking (e.g., being required to work with peers during group work). In turn, the psychologist began each session by discussing the weekly events and highlighting his progress (i.e., replacing negative thoughts with healthy thoughts more frequently).

Substance Abuse  Intervention

Substance abuse intervention programs within the United States are prevalent for adolescents and adults. However, very few programs have been tailored for specific ethnic groups. There are no refugee programs that incorporate the additional context of conflict-related displacement. In this section, we discuss barriers to substance abuse treatment among immigrants and refugees, suggestions for professionals who provide substance abuse treatment to immigrants and refugees, and programs that have tried to address barriers to treatment.

Barriers to treatment use and effective treatments. Many barriers prevent immigrant and refugee populations from receiving and seeking substance abuse treatment. When individuals choose to investigate treatment options, they will likely find a lack of culturally relevant evidence-based treatment and trained providers from diverse immigrant and refugee backgrounds (for example, people who identify as members of the community of interest; Amodeo et al., 2004). There can be limited services available in the immigrant’s language. They found that the stigma of having a substance abuse problem and seeking treatment and language barriers prevented this group from receiving adequate therapy. In poor communities with a lack of information, immigrants may also choose not to seek treatment based on inadequate resources for their general health care and their perception of how various laws and policies affect them (Moya &Shedlin, 2008).
