For over 35 years, Earl Hightower has worked on the front lines of addiction and recovery.\nThe unique perspective that only behavioral health intervention work can offer caused Earl to recognize that the greatest gap in addiction services is during the first 60 days following residential treatment. In other words, people are not making it across The Bridge From Treatment To Recovery©. They are relapsing, post-treatment before they have had a chance to firmly connect themselves to their recovery communities. As a result, Earl's focus for Hightower Associates' family of companies has been to develop systems and strategies that support our clients in their goal of achieving a lasting connection to recovery.\nThe Why Intervention Podcast is aimed at helping family and friends feel supported and encouraged that recovery from addiction is possible, for themselves as well as their loved ones. You'll hear how to affect positive change in their life and help your loved one begin a successful recovery. Host Christopher Doyle shares his insights, talks with experts, and interviews people who have gone through recovery.\nLinks and Resources from this Episode\n https://whyintervention.com/\nhttps://twitter.com/whyintervention\nhttps://www.facebook.com/whyintervention/?ref=br_rs\nConnect with Earl Hightower\nhttps://hightowerassociates.com/\n\nShow Notes\n What intervention is - 1:09\nThe pre-intervention part - 4:39\nWhat alcoholism does to individuals - 8:16\nStop having a rational conversation with an irrational person - 9:12\nDoing interventions for many years - 14:27\nThe second phase of an intervention - 23:21\nOne of the most misunderstood things on the planet - 40:03\nEvery family is a new puzzle - 43:43\nAsking the right questions at the right time - 44:30\nOffering the patient the opportunity to talk about something else - 48:46\nSaying no - 54:50\nDoing interventions over Zoom -...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yhfLXfzwx_u237YNOaEIAYiDf_qEDMaKPO4VaOmEo-4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZDE2/YTI3YjI0ZTI0NmY2/NWRhODg2MmU1Zjhj/ZGQwNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
