Intervention 911

What Intervention 911 does

Intervention 911 (legally Ken Seeley Substance Abuse & Behavioral Interventions) is a privately held addiction intervention and behavioral health services company founded in 2002 by Ken Seeley and headquartered in Palm Springs, California. The company provides professional intervention coordination and recovery support services to individuals and families dealing with drug, alcohol, prescription medication, behavioral, and dual-diagnosis addictions, with specialized tracks for executives, young adults, and heroin/opioid cases. Core delivery is human-driven via trained interventionists using Ken Seeley's proprietary HELPS Model methodology, supported by The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for Behavioral Health Care Accreditation, NAADAC approval, and multiple state-level education certifications.

The business operates two revenue streams. The first is direct-to-consumer professional intervention and recovery support services (Recovery Advocacy case management, Recovery Aides, Life Skills Program, 5-Year Recovery Plan), delivered nationwide via a toll-free line and coordinated on-site interventions. The second is an online education and certification division, delivered through a Thinkific-based self-paced platform, offering Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), Certified Case Manager & Interventionist (CCMI), and Full Certification Program bundles priced from $4,500 to $8,500, with a 16-week coaching subscription add-on. A sub-brand, Ken Seeley Communities (KSC), extends operations into residential detox, residential treatment, outpatient, and sober living housing, providing a full continuum of care. The company is entirely bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with 11-50 employees, nationwide U.S. service delivery, and no institutional equity backing.

Marketing is anchored by Ken Seeley's media presence on the Emmy Award Winning A&E series Intervention and regular contributions across CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and ABC, complemented by content marketing, organic social, and informational video. The company accepts insurance from major carriers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, AmeriHealth, CareFirst, Beach Street) to reduce client out-of-pocket costs. Legal name is Ken Seeley Substance Abuse & Behavioral Interventions; DBA names include Intervention 911, Ken Seeley Substance Abuse & Addiction Interventions, and Ken Seeley Communities.
