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.

In 2025, Ohio continues to confront a deeply entrenched substance use crisis across both its major metropolitan regions and its more rural counties. According to the Ohio Department of Health’s 2023 report, there were 4,452 unintentional drug overdose deaths, representing a 9% decrease from 2022.
In those deaths, illicit fentanyl or fentanyl-analogs were involved in approximately 78% of cases.
Urban areas such as Cleveland and Columbus continue to show elevated overdose rates, while rural counties often face acute shortages in treatment access, longer travel distances to care, and fewer outpatient resources. At Crosswell Interventions, we serve families throughout Ohio from Cleveland and Columbus to Dayton, Cincinnati and more remote regions offering clinically guided interventions tailored to each community’s unique dynamics and resources.
Substance Use Trends Across Ohio
Understanding local patterns of substance use can significantly influence intervention outcomes across the state.
Synthetic opioids such as fentanyl remain the leading cause of overdose deaths statewide. According to the Ohio Department of Health, there were 4,452 unintentional drug overdose deaths in 2023, marking a 9% decline from 2022.
Of those deaths, illicit fentanyl or fentanyl analogs were involved in approximately 78% of cases, according to data from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
Methamphetamine and other stimulants are becoming more prevalent and are frequently found in combination with opioids especially in areas where heroin use has decreased. The Ohio Substance Abuse Monitoring Network (OSAM) reports that individuals with opioid-use histories are increasingly reporting meth use, highlighting the growing issue of polysubstance addiction.
Alcohol use disorder continues to be a major factor in treatment admissions. Data from SAMHSA’s 2023 State Estimates show that alcohol-related disorders remain one of the most common substance-use issues in Ohio.
Prescription medication misuse including sedatives, painkillers, and stimulants adds another layer of complexity to the crisis. Studies cited by White Light Behavioral Health note an alarming increase in stimulant-related overdose deaths involving both prescription and illicit drugs.
At Crosswell Interventions, our intervention model reflects these realities: each plan considers local substance-use patterns, emerging risks, and the unique needs of Ohio families, ensuring a comprehensive, informed, and compassionate approach to recovery.
