Our Services

Our nationwide intervention services are designed to provide compassionate, structured support for families in crisis.

There are few things more heartbreaking and that cause greater feelings of confusion and helplessness than watching a loved one, friend, or colleague in the full throws of their drug, alcohol, or process addiction.  From the outside it appears as though our friends, family, and colleagues are racing towards a catastrophic end, wreaking havoc in their lives and ours, and that there is little that we can do to help or alter the outcome that appears obvious to everyone other than the afflicted individual.  In many cases those suffering under the yoke of addiction unaware of the power their disease has over them and the impact that it has on others.  In other instances, they are keenly aware of the destructive forces at play in their lives and desperate for a path out but are at a loss on how to break the cycle and are craving a change.

An intervention “raises the bottom” for the addict by lovingly and compassionately directing them into recovery. Through a process of drawing boundaries, sharing the impact of their disease on those around them through the testimonials of those closest to them, providing a viable and effective avenue for healing, and overcoming the myriad objections to receiving life-saving treatment, the interventionist collaborates with the intervention participants to interrupt the deadly, downward cycle.   Our nationwide intervention services are designed to provide compassionate, structured support for families and friends in crisis.

Interventions, when executed by trained and seasoned professionals, can provide a framework for the addict to not only get the proper diagnosis, recommendations, and treatment best suited to their needs, but also to develop an initial roadmap to wellness and full recovery.  This is particularly true when you couple an intervention with ongoing case management and recovery consulting, post treatment.

Sober coaching is a collaboration between the coach and the client to establish goals and outcomes that are unique to that specific client and their life within the realm of recovery.  Whether it is someone’s first time in recovery or a reboot, a sober coach is a guide on how to live a sober life and how to strike a healthy balance

While the coach-client relationship mirrors traditional coaching in that creating buy-in and participation is key, a sober coach is trained and certified in the art of sober coaching and/or peer support.  Meaning that a sober coach is, by nature, going to share their experience, skill, and insight in navigating the world of recovery. While the ultimate success of each client lies within them, a sober coach will actively share their perspective and recommendations with a client and imbue them with as much knowledge of the recovery world and as many “sober hacks” as possible to make the client’s journey smoother and more successful.  While sober coaches are not therapists, they are guides, helping clients move from unhealthy behaviors to a secure, sober life.  In this way the coach is also acting as a consultant. The coach will also work with the client to establish reasonable goals and actively work with the client to achieve those goals, in addition to being held accountable for the goals they set.

Finally, with us, the sober coaching experience will almost always include a case management component (described more thoroughly below).  Whether the coach is the case manager or a separate individual, the case management component ensures that the coach can provide feedback and insight and receive the same from the stakeholders in the client’s life to maximize accountability and success.  The case manager communicates with the client’s medical team, therapeutic team, family members, employers and employees, staff, treatment professionals, and anyone else that is relevant to a particular client to provide transparency and ensure success.

At Fulcrum Coaching and Consulting we are uniquely qualified and sensitive to the LGBTQIA+ (“LGBT”) community.  We know firsthand the trauma that can come from growing up and living as an LGBTQIA+ community member in a heteronormative world.  We know what it is like to create a family of choice in the bars and not know how to separate from them, to be seemingly unable to un-fuse meth and sex, to struggle with the microaggressions from family members and society as a whole on a daily basis, to pronounce to the world that you are comfortable with your orientation and still feel that internalized homophobia gnawing at you deep down, to watch relationship after relationship dissolve, or to face a thousand other traumatic events unique to LGBTQIA+ individuals that leave us shell shocked and questioning our own value at the end of the day; resorting to broken tools to alleviate the pain.

At Fulcrum Coaching and Consulting we will connect you or your loved one the most suitable treatment center available with a curriculum that is sensitive to or designed entirely to meet your needs as an LGBT individual.  We will work with the center to find you the best aftercare available, including the physicians and therapists that are educated and comfortable with matters particular to your history.  We will construct your treatment plan to be sensitive to those challenges that you or your loved one is facing as a result of your sexual minority status, while at the same time constructing a plan that ensures success, for you and those that love you.  

Fulcrum offers the full scope of our case management services but in the narrow context of an ongoing lawsuit.  We will take the burden off the lawyer and their office and apply our skill and expertise to supporting a client struggling with substance use disorder and mental illness in staying sober and stable.  Many years of combined experience in the area of mental illness and substance use disorder not only makes us extremely effective and efficient in supporting impaired clients, but we also have the expertise and time that most law offices lack.  Fulcrum’s participation in your case will result in better outcomes for your case, your client, and all those impacted.  Fulcrum is glad to continue our case management services after the completion of the case to ensure a smooth transition, and we am willing to testify as needed.
