Addiction Intervention Services

I highly recommend Joyce Sundin to families who have given up hope, and /​or are struggling to know what to do with their loved-​one who «just isn’t themselves anymore.» When addiction struck our family, Joyce was an advocate for us and a translator to our addict. She was extremely professional, thoughtful and thorough. She helped us identify the problem, navigate through the darkness (and BS), and taught us the tactics to use that eventually helped my sister embrace recovery. Thanks to patience and persistence, and with Joyce’s assistance, my family has found peace and healing again.

Joyce facilitated my intervention many years ago and I am pleased to say she was fabulous. Her communication with both myself and my family went beyond the norm and her follow up was impressive. Her knowledge of her field is without question and her professionalism is top notch. I would highly recommend Joyce.

Joyce Sundin, simply put, is a compassionate, organized and effective strategist and interventionist. I have had the privilege of working with her in a variety of capacities over the last nine years. Her unfailing commitment to eradicating suffering caused by the disease of addiction is notable in every step she takes whether that is in pre-​intervention planning with family members, facilitation of the intervention with the identified addict, or in the year long follow through that she provides to all parties. Ms. Sundin is highly ethical and professional, paying careful attention to every detail of the highly sensitive intervention process. She is, in short, the top of her field. Eve M.

I would not recommend Joyce Sundin to organize or lead an intervention to anyone I know. I experienced her lack of thoroughness, planning and communication and haphazard facilitation of an intervention this past summer. She was dis-​engaged, unorganized and frankly sloppy in both her planning, scheduling, facilitation, and promised follow through. She misrepresented (although we don’t know if it was intentional or because of her sloppiness) the consequences to all participating and her communication during and post treatment was abysmal. She was defensive and unprofessional when approached with feedback. You would do well to find someone else for this highly sensitive and demanding process as ours almost unraveled and was only saved in-​spite of, and not because of, Joyce Sundin.
