Recovery from addiction is challenging for many people and families who deal with substance abuse issues. As an industry, we do not have a great success rate in supporting people in long term recovery. However, there are models that have shown great success. By replicating the components of these programs, we can improve the quality of care we provide and create lasting recovery for the people we treat.

Learning objectives:
- Identify the components of a long term recovery plan
- Discuss the need for providers to establish a “seamless” continuum of care
- Identify programs that support addicts to achieve high rates of abstinence and recovery from substance abuse
- Assess the role an intervention can play in establishing a recovery plan for families and individuals struggling with addiction.


About the Speaker:

Ken Seeley
Founder - Intervention911

Ken Seeley has remained professionally and personally involved in recovery since his sobriety date of July 14, 1989. He applies his relevant experience and boundless enthusiasm to profoundly change the lives of people who suffer from the disease of addiction – for addicts, the addict’s family, and their friends. Ken works to save lives every day as the founder of Intervention911, one of the most prominent and successful private intervention services in the country. Ken is featured on the Emmy Award Winning and 2015 Emmy Nominated A&E television series “Intervention”.

Today, Ken still derives the greatest personal satisfaction from the hundreds of interventions he has conducted, organized, or facilitated through Intervention 911. After years in the recovery industry, Ken realized that recovery is a process and takes time. Addicts do not stay sober with just an intervention and treatment; it is all about the continuum of care and subsequent follow-up, just like any other illness. In 2008, Intervention911 initiated the RAP program which supports the recovery process for addicts and their families for one to five years. In 2011, Seeley opened Ken Seeley Communities, a sober living community in Palm Springs, CA.
