The Solution is you! + American Intervention Institute
Police and Fire
Police Officers
When a police officer struggles with addiction or behavioral health issues, we all can be in danger. This is an opportunity for colleagues to step forward and help those who need assistance and can use an early intervention.
Fire Fighters
Fire fighters, first responders and police all have the potential of having children in their lives that might need to look into the Family and Children's programs.
First Responders
Such high suicide rates are a reminder that first response is a high stress occupation. Responders who fail to respond to the danger signs of stress do so at their own peril. If you see signs, we can help you with an early intervention.
Here's how it works
1. Download the product
Go to the Shop area on the menu bar and purchase the download for Police. After you download the product, print it up or read the instructions on your computer (or phone) and start working on the intervention process by following the DiY Intervention plan.
2. Build the Intervention Team
Connect with two or three others that know the colleague who is struggling with substance use. Follow the plan in the DiY Intervention download on how to prep everyone on the intervention team.
3. The Intervention
Do the intervention sooner than later. It is important that you realize that you may be saving someone's career, lowering the risk of the department, and possibly saving lives. Doing an early intervention is key to helping someone receive the care that they need.
4. Family Program
It is a family disease and we show you how to enroll in an all-day virtual family program (and children's program) for free. This program helps you to heal.
5. Monitoring for success
When a person comes home from treatment it is essential that the person be monitored through a program to help the person new to the life of recovery. The monitoring program is something that you can do yourself through our self-guided program. Those who are monitored have a better chance for life-long recovery.
6. Relationship Mending
When a Police Officer goes through the difficulties of alcohol and drugs, it affects the whole family. In particular, the marriage or partnership needs to be worked on very carefully. We show you how to do an early intervention on your partnership so that you can do it yourselves at your own pace and in the privacy of your own home.
7. Take Action
One of the biggest things to do in life is to Take Action. In regard to a friend or colleague who is struggling with the disease of addiction, sometimes they are waiting to see if anyone will say anything about their drinking. Take action and save a life!
