Drug and Alcohol Intervention Services in New York

Marcel Gemme has been helping people struggling with addiction for over 19 years. He first started as an intake counselor for a drug rehabilitation center in 2000. During his 5 years as an intake counselor, he helped many addicts get the treatment they needed. He also dealt with the families and friends of those people; he saw first-hand how much strain addiction puts on a family and how it can tear relationships apart. With drug and alcohol problems constantly on the rise in the United States and Canada, he decided to use the Internet as a way to educate and help many more people in both those countries. This was 15 years ago. Since then, Marcel has built two of the largest websites in the U.S. and Canada which reach and help millions of people each year. He is an author and a leader in the field of drug and alcohol addiction. His main focus is threefold: education, prevention and rehabilitation. To this day, he still strives to be at the forefront of technology in order to help more and more people. He is a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Treatment Specialist graduate with Honours of Stratford Career Institute. Marcel has also received a certificate from Harvard for completing a course entitled The Opioid Crisis in America and a certificate from The University of Adelaide for completing a course entitled AddictionX: Managing Addiction: A Framework for Succesful Treatment.

Steve has been a professional interventionist since 2001. He has successfully gotten addicts and alcoholics into programs all over the world. In 2017, he published More Than Hope, The Intervention Guidebook, a book about his work and methods. He also writes articles and blogs for some of the largest publications and programs in the world. His success is a matter of record. Out of 30 interventions surveyed, 29 of the addicts arrived into the program of choice during the intervention itself, with a willingness to do the program. He attributes his successes to the fact that he was an addict himself for many years and therefore has personal, intimate experience with most drugs, the corollary depression and treatment programs. His own familiarity with what an addict and his family experiences mean that where others may see chaos, Steve sees mechanisms. He knows how to counter those mechanisms and create tactical, strategic solutions customized to each, individual case. Steve offers free consultations and considers himself a ‘soft sell.’ “The decision to do an intervention can’t come from me – it has to come from the family or family member, so when I get a call, I educate the person and we go from there.” Call Steve at (747) 220-2287, or visit stevebruno.com.
