The Story Behind the Sea Turtle

Before we hired Jeff we were at a complete loss as to what we could do to help our son as he struggled with his addictions. Jeff was with us every step of the way-from the intervention, to finding the right rehab and beyond. Before our son even went to rehab, Jeff had already helped the rest of us in the family understand a lot about this terrible disease, and the things we could do to not only help our son, but to help ourselves. Hiring Jeff was hands-down the best money we spent in this whole process. He was indispensable and worth every penny. The complete effort he puts into helping not only our addict, but the rest of us who are needing guidance and someone with experience to lean on was priceless. Trusting Jeff, and letting him lead us through this awful time was the best decision we could have made. We will highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling with this kind of situati…

Jeff Pope and God saved my nephew’s life. Nephew was spiraling out of control. Almost killed himself via OD several times. Jeff gave us all direction as to what to do, how to do it – took him to treatment and thankfully, nephew’s alive and well. I know my nephew would not be alive today except for God and Jeff’s intervention. Jeff counseled the family. Held the treatment facility accountable. Helped all of us with sober living after treatment. Will never be able to thank Jeff enough. He was a family life saver – as well as my nephew’s.

Beyond the professionalism of a hard transfer of my loved one, Jeff has been a continual support of me and my family – offering helpful and caring advice during a very difficult time. His efforts, wisdom and concern went above and beyond my expectations.

Jeff Pope has truly been a blessing to our family. There is no way I could not have taken care of everything needed to get my husband to treatment and take care of legal issues and paperwork with his employer. After the intervention, Jeff personally took my husband to the treatment facility. He was in contact weekly with my husbands counselor and called me regularly with updates. If your loved one is employed, there are legal issues issues to deal with such as FMLA and Disability. Jeff took care of all of that for me – from making that first phone call to let them know my husband had gone to treatment, to making sure all the paperwork was filled out and handled properly. I have not had to make any contact with my husband’s employer. I was able to solely concentrate on my children and myself while my husband was in treatment.

We have had the real pleasure of working with Jeff from HEALing Sea Turtle on numerous occasions over the course of the past few months. Jeff’s understanding of a family’s needs combined with his insight and strong knowledge of addiction and recovery makes him an invaluable resource for interventions. His passion and dedication to helping addicts/alcoholics really shines through in the way he works with families to form a solid plan to end the cycle of abuse. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Jeff and HEALing Sea Turtle in the future!

Jeff and Healing Sea Turtle, Inc. can be counted on to provided reliable and trustworthy services.

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey Pope and the intervention team at HEALing Sea Turtle: I was immediately impressed by the comprehensive approach they took to addiction recovery with my client. They remained as diligent in helping the family get the help they needed as they were in supporting the client himself. This is so critical because often times the client gets labeled as the “patient” when in fact the entire family system has become sick as a result of the addiction and chaos within the home. Without providing healing to the entire family it is unlikely that the client will be able to return to a healthy and supportive home, thus increasing his chances for relapse. HEALing Sea Turtle and Mr. Pope helped me feel at ease that while I was working hard with the client, so too was the family. Being able to communicate both with the family and the intervention team…

It is rare to find an interventionist whose philosophies on professionalism, patient care and clinical excellence so closely mirror that of our company.  Jeff and his team at Healing sea turtle are a rare find.  They meet each new client with loving and open arms while practicing appropriate and healthy boundaries.  They work extensively and tirelessly with each family to ensure the transition from home to a residential treatment environment is smooth and clinically appropriate.  Every patient that we have received from Jeff entered and completed our program successfully with ample, positive and healthy family support.  I would encourage anyone to pick up the phone and call Jeff.  Get your lives started.

If you are considering an intervention for a loved one, stop considering and act!  I have experienced what addiction does to a family both as a child and now as an adult with my own family.  As traumatic as it is living it and as difficult as the actions you are asked to take may seem, trust me, it is all worth it.  It works!  As much as I wanted to question the process, I listened and I followed through with what I was told to do even though I was scared.  I didn’t remember the process my parents went through when I was a child to get my brother to recovery, but I knew it worked then and I believed and trusted that what Jeff was telling me to do would work now.  I’m not going to pretend that it was easy at any step; it was emotionally taxing, to say the least. Then I got that phone call and Jeff said, “his ticket has been used,” my heart soared and everything we had done w…
