Intervention 911 has provided relevant training for the past 10 years to individuals seeking knowledge specific to interventions.  In 2016, a more robust curriculum was introduced.  Our curriculum today focuses on more than just developing an intervention approach.  The curriculum focuses and includes more information on Family systems, the importance of aftercare, ethics, motivational interviewing, crisis intervention strategies, process addictions, mental health issues and diversity issues.

The training is designed to address these areas in a multi-unit approach that includes a minimum of 125 classroom hours.  Trainings utilize presentations, interactive roleplay and experiential exercises to teach a core curriculum.  At the completion of all 5 mods, individuals are eligible to continue supervision in both interventions and case management to ensure the offering of the highest quality, ethical services for individuals and family struggling with addiction, mental health and behavioral health issues.
