About Addiction Treatment Group
Experience. Trust. Recovery. Meet Jim Reidy
With something as personal as an intervention, knowing who you’re working with is extremely important. Establishing trust early on between the interventionist, the family, and the loved one in need is key to maximizing the chances of a successful intervention.
Since finding his own recovery, Jim Reidy has been executing professional interventions for ten years. This is his sole purpose and passion. He is a renowned interventionist with a reputation that caught the eye of the producers of A&E’s hit television show Intervention and was featured saving a life on the prime-time program back in September of 2019.
He has over four hundred successful interventions to date and has experience with every dynamic, in every state, suffering from every type of addiction. Jim truly specializes in connecting with the lost, bridging the gaps in family systems, and coaching families into long term recovery!
Meet Your Intervention Expert
I had my first drink at age 12, and took my last drink at age 39, with a lifetime-worth of pain in between. The hardest part about stopping alcohol or drug abuse is not putting down the drink or drug, it’s not picking up a drink or a drug in the first place.
Jim Reidy, Certified Interventionist
From the very first time I felt the effects of alcohol I knew I was in trouble – not because I loved it, or it made me feel like superhuman, but it made me feel okay at that time. There were many circumstances dealt to me that made me want to escape. I wasn’t looking for carefree abandon or feeling “high” – I just wanted to be okay. Once I discovered my vice, no failures in school or relationships, DUIs and even jail time would deter me from seeking that feeling.
I am not a horrible person – I have a horrible disease. I declined to a stage where everyone had written me off and the poor choices I had made began to define my legacy on this planet. Those near and dear to me pleaded for me to “just stop” yet I still continued to use. It was like trying to go through life with a plastic bag suffocating me, and the only way to catch a breath was my brain telling me to drink. This was my own hell, one I barely survived.
I know I am one of the fortunate ones. To pay it forward, I chose to be entirely transparent about my own personal history with addiction, my personal journey to recovery, and how I became the person I am today. I have made mistakes in my life, the very mistakes your loved one may be on the path to making or have already made. I’ve been at the bottom of the hole. Climbing out is no easy task, but it’s not impossible. Over the last 10 years that I have worked as a professional interventionist, I have come across cases some would describe as “hopeless.” Addiction treatment is never hopeless. It can become hopeless only when the people who love the addict give up on them.
I am 15 years sober. Today I am happy, healthy, and looking to help others on their own path to health. Thanks to my ongoing recovery, I’m a proud, present, and loving father of two beautiful daughters. Looking back on my battle with addiction, the life I lead today seemed like a distant pipe dream. Today, I have the privilege of being able to call that dream my everyday life.
Since I entered recovery, my personal mission has become saving others from the disease that nearly consumed my life. I have a blog where I post on topics such as family support and treatment. I ask that you read that as it will give you some guidance as you prepare to take that important first step. After that, call me! There is no charge to talk to me to share how your loved one is doing and how their addiction is impacting everyone in the family. Just saying it out loud, to an experienced listener, will give you some clarity and relief. There is a path forward, and I am your perfect guide. Time truly is precious so let’s not waste another day.
What Makes Us Different
Connection
Since I entered recovery, my personal mission has become saving others from the disease that nearly consumed my life. My experiences allow me to understand and connect with over living through the same struggles.
Experience
Over the last decade, I have helped over 400 individuals and families get the treatment and support they need to maintain lasting sobriety. View testimonials of previous clients to see how we have worked together to change their lives.
Ongoing Support
Once your loved one is off to treatment, the family still has work to do in establishing a new normal, free from the influence of addiction. I am here to help educate and guide your family in this process, providing instruction on what to do when your loved one completes treatment, or what to do if they return without completing it.
Jim Reidy | AddictionTreatmentGroup.com | Certified Intervention Professional (CIP) | East Coast Alcohol & Drug Interventionist
When a family finally makes the call, they’re not looking for vague encouragement—they’re looking for credibility, structure, experience, and a professional who can manage the emotional chaos and the clinical realities of addiction in real time.
That’s where Jim Reidy and AddictionTreatmentGroup.com come in.
Jim Reidy is a Certified Intervention Professional (CIP) and a member of the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS), with a documented record of 750+ successful interventions and 13+ years serving families across key East Coast corridors—including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida.
He is also publicly listed by A&E as an Interventionist on the network’s “Intervention” cast page, with additional public listings and media references tied to Season 20 in Philadelphia.
This page is built to answer the two questions families ask (out loud or silently):
-
“Are you truly qualified?”
-
“Can you actually get this done—without destroying our family in the process?”
Jim Reidy (CIP, AIS) leads AddictionTreatmentGroup.com with 13+ years and 750+ successful interventions across PA, NJ, DE, MD, VA & FL. Featured on A&E’s Intervention (Season 20). Family-focused, practical, and effective—specializing in alcoholism, drug addiction, and older-adult substance use.
The Accreditations & Professional Credentials That Matter
Families deserve clarity on credentials—because addiction is not a “talk.” It’s a high-stakes behavioral health event that needs planning, clinical awareness, and leadership.
Jim Reidy’s Verified/Published Professional Credentials
- Certified Intervention Professional (CIP)
- Member of the Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS)
- Public professional profiles documenting intervention practice and experience (including third-party listings)
- Recognized publicly by A&E as an Interventionist
Translation for families: this isn’t a hobby, a “coach,” or a social media persona. This is a professional intervention practice with published credentials and a longstanding track record.
13+ Years. 750+ Successful Interventions. Real-World Results
Experience matters because interventions don’t fail over theory—they fail over timing, family dynamics, enabling patterns, split alliances, clinical blind spots, and the addicted person’s ability to manipulate the room.
Jim Reidy is documented across multiple public-facing sources as having 13+ years of intervention work and 750+ successful interventions.
That matters because families don’t need “general help.” They need someone who can:
run a structured process under emotional pressure
anticipate denial, bargaining, aggression, flight, shutdown, blame-shifting
coach the family system so it stops accidentally feeding the disease
present treatment in a way that’s firm, clear, and not inflammatory
A&E’s “Intervention” | Season 20 | Philadelphia Credibility
Families often ask: “Have you done this at the highest level?”
Jim Reidy is listed on A&E’s official Intervention cast page, and Season 20 episode listings publicly reference him as an interventionist involved in the Philadelphia / Kensington storyline.
There are also published write-ups hosted on AddictionTreatmentGroup.com describing being contacted to appear during Season 20 filming in Philadelphia.
Translation: This is not “influencer intervention.” This is field-tested work, in some of the hardest real-world addiction environments in the country.
Alcoholism Intervention Across PA, NJ, DE, MD, VA, FL
Alcohol is still the most socially protected addiction. It hides in:
“successful” careers
retirement routines
grief and loneliness
pain management
“it’s just wine” normalization
family denial because the person is functioning enough
Jim Reidy and AddictionTreatmentGroup.com position intervention work as a structured family-led clinical process—not a fight, not a lecture, not a meltdown.

If your website build needs it, you can place these as internal navigation hubs and expand into city/region pages (Philadelphia → Main Line → Bucks → Montgomery, etc., plus NJ shore corridors, Baltimore region, Northern VA, and South Florida).
“Family-Friendly Pricing” Without Cutting Corners
A lot of families get shocked by intervention pricing in this industry. Some models are priced like luxury consulting—while families are already drowning financially from the addiction.
Jim Reidy has publicly used language emphasizing being “family-friendly when it comes to cost.”
That positioning matters, especially when families need more than a single meeting—they need:
pre-intervention coaching
real-time planning
treatment coordination
contingency planning
follow-through
The goal isn’t a “perfect intervention.” The goal is a working intervention plan that the family can afford to implement now, not six months from now.
The Overlooked Crisis: Addiction in Older Adults (Elderly Addiction Specialist Angle)
This is the part most intervention websites ignore—and it’s a mistake.
Older adults are facing a growing addiction crisis tied to:
alcohol escalation in retirement
long-term prescription dependence (benzos, opioids, sleep meds)
isolation, grief, boredom, loss of identity
chronic pain + polypharmacy
shame (“I’m too old for rehab”)
families who don’t want to “upset Dad” or “stress Mom”
Intervention 365 has published content directly addressing elderly addiction in America, including the rise in alcohol and prescription misuse among seniors.
What makes older-adult interventions different?
Because the intervention plan has to account for:
medical complexity (falls, cognition, medication interactions)
primary care involvement and consent challenges
mobility and transportation needs
dignity, privacy, and family guilt
the fact that “bottoms” look different at 72 than at 22
This is exactly why the “elderly addiction” niche matters for your positioning: it signals you understand the real-world complexity, not just the emotional conversation.
The AddictionTreatmentGroup.com Intervention Philosophy (Straight, Firm, Compassionate)
Addiction Treatment Group frames intervention as compassionate and determined, helping families speak truth clearly while presenting a real option for life.
That means your content should lean into these high-converting truth statements:
Addiction doesn’t respond to hoping.
Love without boundaries becomes fuel for the disease.
A family system can accidentally stabilize addiction.
An intervention is a structured course correction—not punishment.
