Welcome to the Family Intervention Center of Virginia. Bill Maher provides family intervention services for alcohol and other addictions throughout the country, but especially in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, North Carolina and West Virginia. He is a Preferred Interventionist for the Betty Ford Center. Throughout this site, you will find information about alcoholism, and other addictions such as drugs, food and sex addiction as well as how we provide intervention services to families suffering from addiction.

“If only I could get my loved one to treatment.”
This is a common thought of friends and family members dealing with the problem of alcoholism and addiction in a loved one. Professional intervention services may be the answer. Alcoholism, drug addiction, and food addiction are progressive and often fatal. Fortunately, addiction is a disease that can be successfully treated—provided that the alcoholic or addict gets suitable help in time. The alcohol addiction intervention initiates the addicted person’s process of “hitting bottom”. It works to break both the individual and the family members’ ties to the disease so that the journey to a healthy and productive life can begin for all involved.

A New Reality
There are several models of intervention that we facilitate. With one type—the Family Invitational Model—the addicted person is openly invited to attend. Family members and significant others learn about and discuss the affects of addiction. The family intervention is organized in a way that allows the alcoholic family member to lower their defenses, principally because the material is not directed at them, but rather to the family as a whole.
