Intervention Services

“Walter saved my life. I was depressed and hopeless and I didn’t know how to help my son. He was losing his life to drugs, alcohol and arrests. After suffering many years of chaos, sadness and despair, I made a decision to call Walter and that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Walter knows what needs to be done — including getting an attorney to defend my son. Now, in my life and my son’s, we have recovery, hope, peace and continued support from Walter.”

— Diane W., Edmond, OK

“Anyone who has ever tried to find help for a loved one struggling with addiction and mental health issues knows what a difficult, daunting, and seemingly impossible task it is. It was truly a blessing when it was suggested we contact Walter. He has been such a help in guiding our family. He takes a personal interest in those he works with and is there with your family every step of the way. Our son is finally getting the help he needs and our family is beginning to heal. None of it would be possible without Walter. We are so very grateful for all he has done and cannot thank him enough.”

— Mike M., San Rafael, CA

“Walter is a man driven by compassion and who is devoted to the recovery of the addict and his/her family. Walter came into our lives when we were in a state of chaos, hopelessness and helplessness. His care and expertise gave us the confidence and courage to navigate the very difficult process of intervention and confrontation which led to the recovery of our loved one. Due to his relationships with the best treatment facilities in the country, he has the experience necessary to navigate the world of insurance and negotiating payment plans. Additionally, Walter is connected to very talented and dedicated legal professionals who are frequently needed for this journey. Thanks to Walter, our son and family are whole once again.”

“Good night, Walter! We can finally sleep in our house so it is a ‘good night’! There are no words that can express our heartfelt gratitude for helping us help our [son]. The evening [we met you] was serendipitous and I have told everyone about it. From the depth of our souls we ‘thank you’! [Our son] is so thankful. He went [to rehab] on his 25th birthday and I have classified that day as the ‘Rebirth of [] Day.’ ”

The Right Rehab ▪︎ The Book

“I spent hours researching rehab options and only got more confused until I got this book. Now I understand what makes one rehab program successful and another one financially draining and disheartening. This book leads everyone — no matter what their budget — to make confident choices and achieve their goals. I could find no other resource like it.”

— S. K.

“Our son was having panic attacks, depression and psychosis for over seven months. He was having therapy and trying medications that seemed to make everything worse. We finally tried a local rehab in-patient for ten days and then out-patient. He went right back to severe chest pain and panic attacks. Wouldn’t go out. Couldn’t go back to work.

“I met Walter at an awards dinner we attended with our spouses. We were making conversation and then we started talking about mental health and rehabs. I explained our situation. He simply stated ‘I can help your family.’ I was overcome with hope and joy. I ordered his book and we were able to find our son the best rehab for him with Walter’s guidance.

“We are so thankful to Walter and his in-depth book that explains everything in terms we can relate to. This book should be a guide to help every family because you never know when you will need to help a family member or friend with mental illness. Thank you for all that you are doing to make mental illness to be openly talked about and dealt with and not an illness that is hidden in the family.”

— Karen L.

“One of the most challenging issues family members face is how to find the treatment option that is the best fit for your loved one. The Right Rehab is the most comprehensive book I’ve read that details all aspects of treatment and recovery. The book has a detailed description of insurance options, medication-assisted treatment, support groups, and more.

“I also appreciate the section ‘The Family Must Also Be in Recovery.’ Therapists and other professionals are essential. The highly regarded CRAFT approach mentioned early in the book is also an approach that family members can use to help them support their loved ones before and after treatment. The Right Rehab is a must-read for families who want to help their loved ones understand the treatment process.”
