It’s pretty easy to find addiction treatment centers. The links that I have included below can help you. I don’t think that you can interview the patients, though. Addiction treatment centers can be really strict when it comes to the privacy of the patients. You might have to settle for interviewing the therapists and counselors. You can also get a lot of information from the Internet or join a forum that happens to be a support network for once-addicts or those who are addicts.

We work with counseling professionals in Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana who specialize in interventions. What is an Intervention? An intervention is a facilitated meeting with the addict or alcoholic, friends, family members and other concerned parties.

The intervention will be a frank discussion directed to the addicted person about their using behavior and the consequences of their addiction, focusing on friends’ and family members’ feelings and experiences. We use a proven intervention process that may include one or more preparatory meetings, including family “coaching sessions”. A trained professional will facilitate the process, discuss options with the addicted person, pave the way for treatment, and then stay on as part of the treatment team.
