The Intervention W/ Ken Seeley & John Southworth
This episode was recorded live from Nashville at the Innovations In Behavioral Health conference hosted by Foundations Recovery Network.
Ken Seeley and John Southworth are regulars on the A&E program Intervention. They are addiction recovery case management and intervention specialists who know the heartbreak addiction causes families and the tremendous effort and solidity of purpose required by everyone involved to save a loved one from addiction.
Both of these men know how crucial having a skilled interventionist and a case manager is for the success of a patient’s recovery, but insurance companies have never paid for this part of addiction treatment. So Ken Seeley and John Southworth took it upon themselves to take the bureaucratic steps necessary to make case management and intervention billable to insurance. They paid out of their own pockets to travel the country on a mission to make this specialized area an accredited field.
Now they are training the very first accredited CCMI case managers and interventionists in their new program!
