Darrin is a Board Registered Interventionist and Addictions Counsellor at Axis Intervention Services. He travels throughout North America to facilitate interventions on behalf of families and employers. Founded in 1999, Axis is first and foremost in the business of facilitating interventions. As a graduate of Queen’s University and a member of the Association of Intervention Specialists, he brings a diverse professional background and a great deal of passion to his work. At Axis, Darrin also offers a variety of services to his clients including pre-assessments, family/individual counselling, treatment placement, patient transfer services, continuing care group therapy, recovery monitoring and drug testing. Darrin draws on his personal experience with the disease of addiction conveying a firm yet genuinely compassionate approach. Thoroughly preparing families and supporting them through the intervention and treatment process is a top priority at Axis. If required, Darrin works closely with treatment facilities acting as a liaison between them and families while the patient is in treatment.

In his own words: At Axis, we believe that the intervention is a unique opportunity for the family and those closest to the addicted individual to begin healing long standing hurts and begin a path toward recovery. An intervention must be thoroughly planned and based in honesty, truth and openness not in shame, anger, or blame. Although each intervention is unique, the goal remains the same: speak to the heart of the addicted individual allowing them to make an informed decision to accept immediate help. Families will be supported and prepared to establish boundaries and/or consequences as a necessary part of the intervention process. Our experience has prepared us to address many addictive behaviours including:

• Drugs and alcohol
• Eating disorders
• Gaming or internet addictions
• Sex addictions
• Gambling

We also specialize in interventions on high profile individuals requiring discreet treatment placement and private patient transfer services. At Axis, we have succeeded in getting individuals to accept treatment approximately 95% of the time since 1999.
