Imagine waking at 3 a.m. to a call informing you that a loved one is in crisis due to addiction or mental illness. Maybe they have been incarcerated, hospitalized, or left for dead from an overdose. What would you do next? Walter Wolf was once in that very situation, and he quickly realized there was no playbook. Every day, besieged families must navigate a $42 billion unregulated treatment industry plagued with grifters and predators. Wolf knew something had to change. From intervention to recovery, his book is a step-by-step guide to options available to all individuals and families, no matter how plentiful or spare their resources.
As an interventionist and treatment placement specialist, Walter guides families in crisis through the labyrinth of treatment options, insurance, and aftercare in pursuit of long-term recovery. He realized his calling soon after his own son’s crisis. A veteran of the film and television industry, he is based in Oklahoma City and Los Angeles.
