Love and Honesty, rather than toughness is what first breaks through denial.
Love restores lost hope.
Intervention is first about achieving sobriety, but in the end, it is about restoring family and friendship.
Don't stop short of a miracle!
You don't have to hit bottom before getting help!
Are you ready to become substance free? I can help.
Tired of doing the same thing and feeling hopeless and in despair because things don't change? I can help.
You deserve long term recovery and healing for yourself and your loved-ones!

Scott Henrywestwood Scott is one of those rare counselors who doesn't impose himself into the process too much. He has an admirable quality of listening carefully and learning your individual situation. Highly recommended!Mary P., Los Gatos, Ca Scott helped me through an extremely trying part of my life, and did so with a grace, compassion, and understanding that I think very few human beings could muster. And, not coincidentally, I think he really enjoys his work. If you need help with overcoming substance abuse, this should be your guy.Kenneth S., Santa Clara, Ca Scott facilitated my son's recovery and I am pleased to say he was fabulous. His communication with both myself and my family went beyond the norm and his follow up was impressive. I would highly recommend Scott.Lidia C., San Jose, Ca |
