David J. Eichhorn, LADC, CSAC, ICADC
Director of Intervention Services

David has worked in the field of addiction for over 20 years. He was the program supervisor at the Hazelden men’s unit in Center City, MN.  Prior to joining Bayer Interventions Dave served as the Director of Intervention Services for Addiction Intervention Resources, Inc.  Dave is licensed in the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, is reciprocated in approximately 40 other states, and is Internationally Certified. Dave has performed hundreds of interventions  all over the world. His passion is his work, and the effort to raise the bottom up so that the addict or alcoholic does not need to hit the proverbial rock bottom.

David's Treatment Philosophy:

By using a combination of intervention models, the family moves away from being held hostage by the addiction and the addict moves towards making a decision to get help. When everyone embraces this shift there is an increased chance of recovery. By raising the bottom up we are putting an end to the enabling behaviors and empowering the family to take back their voice and move forward in a healthier direction. For the addict or alcoholic it will be a life changing day, a new beginning.
