Therapeutic Escort Services
Intervention Strategies is able to provide select clients with a therapeutic escort. This service is offered to facilities wanting to ensure safe delivery of prospective patients as well as to families, business, and individuals who recognize the need and benefit of utilizing personal accompaniment to/from a predetermined facility. We know from experience that people, especially addicts have been known to change their minds a whole lot en-route to a change in lifestyle. Certainly, this would not be an uncommon occurrence.
By choosing to have an escort, the mind changing may occur just as frequently, but the benefit of having a Licensed Therapist along for the ride certainly increases the likelihood of a successful transfer. An escort will not accept responsibility for a person's behavior during a trip, but has been known to influence choices along the way. The most frequent of these of these choices to be affected is the use alcohol/drugs. An addict after all will rationalize their choices and the rationalization of using one more time prior to admission to treatment makes perfect sense to them. To act as preventative for this behavior, an escort can, by their presence and verbal intervention can greatly reduce the risk of this happening. For more information and costs associated with therapeutic escort, please contact Dr. Harold Jonas, LMHC, CAP toll free at 888-243-0407 or by digital pager at 800-306-7654.
