Alcohol and Drug Addiction Interventions for Executives
ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION INTERVENTIONS FOR EXECUTIVES
Business Executives with a Chemical Dependency will begin to under function in variety of ways, often experiencing a loss of creativity and productivity.
Alcohol and other Drug Addiction is a life threatening illness that impacts every aspect of a Business Executive’s life, destroying relationships, negatively affecting one’s vocation, causing long-term health problems and destroying dreams while eating away at one’s resolve to seek help.
Chemical dependency is also an illness of ambivalence that will thwart a Business Executive’s efforts and desire to take action.
Business Executives with a Chemical Dependency will begin to under function in a variety of ways that nevertheless have some specific outcomes that are often experienced as a loss of creativity and productivity.
Drug Addiction Interventions for Executives are specifically designed for Senior Managers who have developed destructive habits resulting from alcohol or other drug abuse.
Weyland Consultation Services provides Orchestrated Alcohol and Drug Interventions with the specific goal of getting the identified abuser into treatment. It is their belief that such services should only be employed when a qualified counselor has made the assessment that it is the only option left for the business and/or family.
When performing an Executive Drug Addiction Intervention, many of the same steps are employed when working with families, but instead of family members as participants, often selected Senior Management and colleagues form the intervention team. It is important to note that when indicated the Executive’s family may be involved if the interventionist and team members think it will positively impact the intervention outcome.
DISCREET AND CONFIDENTIAL
Because of the exceptional need for privacy in these Drug Intervention situations, a strategy of discretion and confidentiality would be custom tailored for the Executive’s particular situation.
Businesses and families are typically afraid, and at their wits end when they decide that they are in need of an Executive Drug Intervention. It is the job of the trained interventionist to clinically assess both the need for an intervention, and when indicated, the levels of intervention that will best serve.
Weyland’s approach to an Executive Intervention is generally a less restrictive and certainly a less intrusive intervention approach, as well as entertains the idea that there are often intermediate or gradations of intervention strategies that may be employed.
Weyland prides itself on providing intervention services and ongoing Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Services that are custom tailored to the needs of the Executive’s situation. Their Interventions are performed with an eye toward avoiding additional harm to the dependent person, their work environment and family.
Weyland Consultation Services specializes in designing treatment programs that address the values and beliefs of the people they serve, thereby increasing their ability to engage and participate as active collaborants in their treatment. This open ended and person specific approach has proved to be a strong deterrent to behavioral and chemical relapse.
With the experiential knowledge they have gained from working with many Executives over the years, Weyland has created Drug Intervention and Rehabilitation Programs that are inviting, easily accessible, and that fit into an Executives life in such a way as to make coming into treatment more palatable.
INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLANS
Weyland Consultation Services prides itself on creating individualized Discrete Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Treatment Plans when needed to meet Executives specific needs. There are times when the requirements of career and/or family just won’t allow the Executive to fit into one of their pre–designed plans. In such cases, they will thoroughly discuss and professionally evaluate the particular situation to make every attempt to create a plan to meet the unique needs. More importantly they are designed to encompass your values and beliefs as an intrinsic part of how they provide services.
With entirely Individualized Intervention and Rehabilitation Programs there is not a specific cost applied. Therefore, the cost of these services will be defined by their various service rates and what treatment is required.

When Hope Is Not Enough, by Fred Wade
- C.A.S., R.A.S. Certified Addition Counselor
This book provides families reference points to refer to when and if an alcohol or chemical abuse problem were to arise with someone they love. It will provide a framework for thinking about and responding to alcohol and chemical abuse problems, as well as a means to finding answers to many unique situations.

Fred Wade holds both National and State certifications as an addictions counselor. He has worked in the field of addiction since the mid 80’s, having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. He is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Weyland Consultation Services which specializes in outpatient treatment of addictive disorders for adults and adolescent males and females. Weyland Consultation Services is located in Walnut Creek California, and serves the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

The alcohol intervention process does not stop at removing the addicted individual from his/her old environment. Inside the rehabilitation center, s/he will have to undergo detoxification. This is a medical treatment that would help him/her wean alcohol from his/her system. This is done by completely ceasing the patient’s alcohol intake but with minimal side effects that are typically caused by withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms are minimized by introducing controlled doses of medicines which mimic the effects of alcohol in the body. The detox treatment is complete once the patient’s body can function normally again without alcohol.
Agreed. An intervention is but a step in a series of processes that must play out if a person is ever to achieve recovery. I’m curious, one of the things I strongly believe in is that one size does not fit all. As a result of this belief I am far more open to people utilizing a variety of support mechanisms to create an ongoing lifestyle of recovery. For instance, if someone is not interested in using AA, I will suggest LifeRing just to name one alternative format for ongoing recovery support. I would be interested in your thoughts on this idea. It is my belief that by so doing more people will find an avenue by which to enter and sustain recovery if we are more eclectic and have a greater fund of options for people to chose from when seeking a support mechanism. I really appreciated your previous response and would appreciate any time you may lend to this thought also.
Charley, I am dissappointed to not have heard more from you on the topic of addiction treatment. Perhaps this is busy time for you and you have not been able to devote any time to this subject. I am simply writing to say i really appreciated your thoughts and would love to hear more from you. I am still interested in hearing your thoughts about electric treatment approaches and whether or not you see this as the wave of the future or an anomaly that will fade with time. I for one hope not. I like the idea that there are and will continue to increase our base of ways one might be treated as opposed to the one size fits all approach and default to AA model. I truly look forward to hearing from you and having some lively dialogue. Fred
