About Us

A drug intervention is a structured, solution-oriented process tailored to each individual to help someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol seek help to rehabilitate their addiction.

Addiction Recovery Consulting Services was founded by Alice Tanner in 2000. Her combination of professional training and personal experience with the disease of addiction allows her to offer an unparalleled perspective to individuals, families and businesses when confronting this powerful illness. Recovery is a process, often started through a professional intervention or family workshop. At every step, Alice will guide you and your family from intervention preparation through treatment, including follow-up.

Addiction Recovery Consulting Services is an independent consulting service based in California and is not affiliated with any treatment facility.

Addiction is a treatable family disease. Addressing it early and aggressively gives everyone the best chance of recovery.

Alice is an alcohol and drug Intervention Specialist and Business Consultant and is the owner/founder of Addiction Recovery Consulting Services in San Francisco. She assists individuals, families and business from all over the country address addiction within the family system or workplace through interventions, workshops and trainings.
