Measure of Success |
Person coerced into treatment. (The treatment program chosen is usually the highest bidder rather than what would be most effective for an individual.) | Substance user makes positive, lasting lifestyle changes. Substance user assesses the need for enrollment in the JTP after a series of non confrontational meetings and/or correspondence with our Family Liaison Services Director. |
Methodology |
Confrontational in nature; coercive; in some cases abusive; fear and guilt as the primary motivators; group ambush with loved ones; negativity as a catalyst for action. | Mediation between family and substance user; educating with facts and research; providing all options; listening to all parties and helping each come to an understanding of the other. Helping all to make an informed decision. |
Length and Extent of Services |
1-2 day on-site visit. Services typically end when person enters treatment program. | 2-3 day average on-site visit, but length of visit can be personalized based on the family's needs. Services continue indefinitely throughout program and after program completion. |
Costs |
One price plus expenses regardless of services provided. High cost, low value. | Varying levels of cost depending upon services requested. Affordable. Great value, as services continue indefinitely. |
Success Rate |
5% - 20% with 12 Step/Disease based treatment methodology. | 30%-75% depending upon whether or not the person attends and completes the JTP. |
Which would you choose for your family? |
Confrontational ambush designed to scare/coerce your loved one into treatment program that research has shown may actually decrease his/her chances of ever making a lasting positive lifestyle change. | Kindness, empathy, compassion and accurate information designed to provide all options to family and substance user so both can make an informed and rational decision. |
The St. Jude Program Family Liaison Service
...provides free consultation over the phone to guide families on ways to approach their loved one about substance use (or other habitual behavior) problems. The Family Liaison Director is also available (for a fee) for on-site consultations, family meetings, one-on-one meetings with the substance user, to educate the family about substance use issues and the SJP, or as a traveling companion for the substance user to ensure his/her safe arrival to a St. Jude Program retreat location. * The Family Liaison does not provide Intervention Services nor do we recommend such services to families as the process of ambushing a person and forcing them into a treatment program is not only ineffective, but cruel and harmful. Many times the primary objective for the family liaison is to help the family and substance user to understand each other; and their respective opinions, concerns and wishes. We guide people to proven methods and workable, affordable permanent solutions. This is what St. Jude's is known for - Serving and Creating Solutions for over 20 years!

Testimonial
It Just a big thank you and God bless you! St. Jude saved my daughters life (Joanne) 4 years ago. She has been sober from crystal meth and xanax for 4 years now after being addicted for 3 years. We were just both talking about her anniversary at St.Judes. She was 18 years old when she went in and she is now 22 and very sober. We are both very thankful for St Judes."
