In addition to her strengthand commitment to sobriety, Kristina is a mother, a wife, a top-sellingauthor, a world-renowned public speaker and one of the most soughtafter,unconventional, top addiction interventionists in the country.Kristina will empower the addicts and the families to help them notonly get clean and sober, but to also live the healthy lives they deserve.The series will focus on one person per episode. And while the problemof substance abuse is addressed, the family and the addict are alsogiven the tools to not only get well in the moment but to continue ahealthy life, or as Kristina says, "not just how to get in the door but howto walk the path." Another difference is the interventions that take placeare planned by all members of the family, including the addict.Recovery House Listings Pages 14, 15, 16To Place an AD or Calendar Listing Contact: 215-317-8774 or 12StepGazette@comcast.net
