Jill Lopez, Interventionist

The Basics

Located in Boulder, Colorado, Intervention Path to Recovery was founded by Jill Lopez, one of only two interventionists in Colorado to have earned the Certified Intervention Professional (CIP) credential. In addition to interventions, Lopez also offers recovery consulting services for those considering treatment plans or transitioning home after receiving treatment.

Lopez, a Board Registered Interventionist Level I (BRI-I), received a finance degree from University of Colorado at Boulder. She previously held management and training positions with agribusiness CHS, Robert Half Industries and Kaiser Permanente. She brings her wealth of experience in consulting, project and team management to her work as an interventionist.

The Background

Lopez began conducting interventions in 2003. She’s a member of the Association of Intervention Specialists and a member of the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC). In 2005, she helped found the National Center for Intervention, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of the intervention process and making them affordable for all families.

The Approach

Lopez uses a variety of intervention models in her work which she customizes for each client’s needs. Her project management background enables her to choose the best participants for the intervention and effectively execute its moving parts.

Lopez generally conducts two coaching sessions with the family prior to the intervention and conducts an additional debriefing session with them following it. She works with clients and families to select the most appropriate detox, residential and outpatient treatment facilities. Lopez’s clients describe her approach is “even-handed,” “compassionate” and that she has “an excellent ability to meet clients where they are.”

Hourly consultations are also available for those who do not require intervention services. These educational sessions help loved ones to develop communication skills, set healthy boundaries, identify codependent behaviors and find an appropriate level of care for addicts and their families.

Post-Intervention and Summary

Jill Lopez has been conducting interventions since 2003. Her strong background in business and project management gives her the ability to assemble an effective intervention team and coordinate the several stages of the recovery process. As a founder of the National Center for Intervention, she is committed to educating clients about the benefits of all substance abuse treatment options and to making the intervention process accessible to all.
