A Structured, Supportive Conversation That Opens the Door to Recovery
WHAT IS AN INTERVENTION?
An intervention is a carefully planned and structured conversation where family members, friends, and an experienced interventionist come together to encourage an individual to seek treatment for substance abuse. This process aims to help the individual recognize the impact of their addiction and accept professional help in a supportive and non-judgmental setting.
Goals of an Intervention:
Break Through Denial: Address resistance to treatment and open the door to recovery.
Supportive Approach: Offer a loving, non-blaming environment that fosters acceptance.
Immediate Treatment Options: Present clear, actionable paths to treatment.
Firm Boundaries and Consequences:Set healthy boundaries to encourage a willingness to seek help.

Recent data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) highlight the evolving nature of the state’s substance-use crisis. In 2023, Michigan recorded more than 2,400 drug-overdose deaths, a modest decline from previous years but still above pre-pandemic levels.
Synthetic opioids especially fentanyl continue to account for the majority of overdose fatalities statewide. Meanwhile, stimulant-related overdoses (involving methamphetamine or cocaine) have risen sharply in several counties, including Wayne, Genesee, and Kent.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that Michigan remains one of the top states for synthetic-opioid-involved mortality, though community-based prevention and recovery programs are expanding across the region.
At Crosswell Interventions, we work with families throughout Michigan from Detroit and Grand Rapids to smaller rural communities to facilitate clinician-guided interventions that open the door to meaningful recovery.
Substance-Use Trends Impacting Michigan Families
Understanding Michigan’s specific addiction patterns helps families and professionals tailor intervention strategies more effectively:
Opioids and Synthetic Substances:
According to MDHHS Data Reports, fentanyl remains the leading cause of overdose deaths, often mixed with other substances like xylazine or cocaine.Rising Methamphetamine Use:
SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health reveals a steady increase in methamphetamine misuse across the Midwest, including Michigan.Alcohol and Prescription Misuse:
Alcohol continues to be one of the most commonly misused substances, contributing to a significant number of treatment admissions statewide. Prescription misuse including benzodiazepines and painkillers remains a key driver of polysubstance dependence.
Crosswell Interventions takes these complex realities into account designing interventions that address both the medical and emotional layers of addiction while guiding families toward trusted treatment options.
