Invitational Family Intervention & Systemic Recovery

An effective family Intervention is designed to re-establish a healthy, respectful and loving connection, rooted in Recovery, between the addicted person and their loved ones.

With Invitational Intervention, we move a level deeper, to address the entire family environment that may be unintentionally enabling the addiction to continue. We recognise that for the addicted person to have any hope of long-term Recovery, what needs to be treated are the Addiction challenges affecting the whole family system – not just the addicted person.

A Collaborative Process

Closely guided by our team of experts, there are no secret meetings or ambushes, the addicted person is invited to the process and included respectfully and with compassion. This non-confrontational drug intervention approach has been shown to be the most effective and impactful way to create meaningful change. 

The Invitational Intervention and ongoing Case Management facilitate a ‘system-wide’ change to break down old ineffective ways of interacting with active Addiction

The Intervention Workshop

At Lighthouse Recovery, our team of fully trained professional Interventionists, Therapists and Coaches help motivate the individual to accept help through a bespoke day-long Workshop. This session is specifically designed to launch your whole family system into a process of change.

This workshop combines education, empathy, and practical tools, empowering families to: 

  • Better understand the complexities of addiction.

  • Communicate more effectively and address enabling behaviours.

  • Foster healing for everyone involved through a family-centred mental health approach.


The whole family is educated on the impact of Addiction (substances and behavioural), focusing on behaviours that often unknowingly develop alongside it. By establishing healthy boundaries and expectations, we encourage the individual to enter the appropriate level of treatment, and the whole family continues to receive support through our ongoing Case Management programme.
