Addiction and Mental Health Support
Understanding the challenges we help navigate and when support is needed
When someone you care about is struggling, it is not always clear what the problem is or what kind of help is appropriate. Addiction, mental health concerns, and behavioral changes often overlap, evolve, and affect the entire family. Through experienced addiction and mental health support, InterventionASAP helps families make sense of what is happening, identify what level of help is needed, and move forward with confidence.
This page outlines the addiction and mental health concerns we commonly help families navigate. You do not need a diagnosis or a clear plan before reaching out.
Our role is to help you make sense of the situation and guide next steps with clarity and care.

Substance Use and Addiction Concerns
We help families navigate a wide range of substance-related challenges that disrupt health, relationships, and daily functioning. These situations may involve early warning signs or long-standing patterns that have escalated over time.
Common concerns include alcohol dependency, illicit drug use, prescription medication misuse, opioid use, stimulant use, binge patterns, and increasing tolerance or loss of control. Substance use often impacts work performance, family dynamics, safety, and emotional stability.
Some individuals may need medical detox or structured treatment, while others benefit from coaching, monitoring, or care management. We help families determine what level of support is appropriate and when additional services are needed.
Learn more about levels of care on our Treatment Options page.
Mental Health Conditions Without Substance Use
Not every situation involves drugs or alcohol. Many families reach out because a loved one is struggling with mental health concerns that interfere with daily life, decision making, or emotional wellbeing.
We commonly provide mental health support for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, mood instability, trauma-related symptoms, behavioral decline, and difficulty functioning at work or school. These challenges can be just as disruptive and may require structured support even without substance use.
In these cases, support may involve outpatient mental health care, psychiatric evaluation, structured coaching, or care management rather than detox or residential treatment. We help families understand what type of care fits the situation and how to begin.
Learn more about coaching on our family coaching page.
Behavioral Addictions and Compulsive Patterns
Behavioral addictions can develop without substances but still create significant disruption. These patterns often involve compulsive behaviors that continue despite negative consequences.
Examples include gambling, excessive social media or internet use, compulsive gaming, spending behaviors, work or performance driven compulsivity, and relationship or sex-related compulsions. These concerns often involve shame, secrecy, and escalating conflict within families.
Support typically focuses on behavior modification, accountability, communication strategies, and long term planning rather than medical treatment. Coaching and structured support are often effective first steps.

Co-Occurring Addiction and Mental Health Challenges
Many individuals experience both mental health concerns and substance use at the same time. These are often referred to as co-occurring disorders and require careful coordination.
For example, depression and alcohol use, anxiety and prescription misuse, or trauma-related symptoms and substance use may reinforce each other. Addressing only one concern often leads to relapse or continued instability.
We help families develop integrated plans that address all contributing factors, coordinate communication between providers, and support long-term stability rather than short-term fixes.
Learn more about coordinated planning on our Case Management page.
When You Are Not Sure What Is Going On
Many families arrive without clear answers. You may notice changes in behavior, mood, or functioning but feel unsure how serious the situation is or what kind of help is appropriate.
Uncertainty is normal. You do not need a diagnosis or a treatment plan before contacting us. Our role is to help you understand what you are seeing, identify risks, and determine responsible next steps without pressure.
If you are unsure where to begin, we will listen carefully and help you move forward with clarity.
If you are concerned about someone you love, call us at (888) 405 3121 to talk through your situation.
