Intervention

Minimizing Criminal Consequences through Alcohol and Drug Intervention

When individuals find themselves in the criminal justice system, The Shellow Group is sought by those individuals and their families to help in minimizing criminal justice consequences. When drugs or alcohol are identified as having contributed to the individual’s criminal justice involvement, The Shellow Group seeks to help the individual and family make demonstrable and positive changes.

The Shellow Group brings nationally recognized intervention skills to the attorney-client relationship. A caring and empathic approach is used to help an individual face the reality of his/her substance use so that the appropriate treatment can be found and the demonstrable changes can be realized. An intervention style of approach has proven effective in motivating individuals to adopt a drug and alcohol free lifestyle. We have found that not only does a drug and alcohol free lifestyle work to minimize criminal justice consequences, but it also brings healthy families back together and decreases the risk of recidivism.
