"Joe Shoots was an answer to my prayers.  Our 19 year-old son, Brian was not what you may think of as a typical drug addict.  He nonetheless was in real trouble.   He was using alcohol, abusing marijuana and had experimented with other drugs.  He failed at, and subsequentially, dropped out of college.  He was shirking his financial responsibilities.  He lacked motivation and direction in life and showed serious signs of depression."

"After doing some research, I learned that intervention was our best hope, both to help our son and give ourselves peace of mind.  Joe met with us, validated our concerns, and immediately connected with us.  He tailored his services to our unique situation.  Joe gave us the opportunity to express our deepest heartfelt love and commitment to Brian through the intervention. "

" I truly believe that the intervention was a life changing experience, not only for Brian, but for our entire family.  Its benefits will continue to unfold.  Joe guided us through the process with professionalism and compassion and we will always be truly grateful to him."

"When we discovered that our son was addicted, we knew that we could not handle this alone.  He was losing his family and had stopped working.  I made some calls and was given the names of three interventionists.  I called all three and immediately decided on Joe Shoots.  He seemed willing to work with us in every  way and go the extra mile.  I also felt that he was very fair.  We started meetings at our home with the family.  Since we became his strong support with Joe guiding us, I am happy to say that everything turned out well.  Joe actually met with our son alone in-between our get-togethers.  We knew our son wouldn't stay in a local rehab center and would just walk out, so we found a wonderful place in Florida.  He flew there for six days and came home determined to put his life back together.  The following month he and his ex-wife flew there together for a follow-up.  Joe guided him all the way.  He now goes to support meetings every morning and is back to work.  The family is now united and doing great!!  It is worth mentioning that we were also impressed by the fact that Joe followed up routinely to see how things were progressing." 

"We were discouraged by statistics, but we can honestly say that our family situation has had a positive outcome and we all look forward to a successful and happy future!"
