From Clients:
Jay was a calm and steady guide to assist our family once we had made the difficult choice of intervention. His understanding of the process to ensure the best safe possible outcome was critical. Jay was in nonstop communication with me as I administered tough love and in nonstop communication with my son who desperately needed his help. It took my 22 year old son 4 days to accept the help. This situation would have been even more unbearable if Jay had not consistently kept a distant watchful eye on my son. Our common goal was to get this young man to receive the help he needed.
Once the help was accepted Jay safely transported him and remained in touch for 90 days to help with unexpected items.
Should you ever need strength to help your loved one; I would recommend you access Jay’s experience.
— A Grateful Mother
That was two years ago, and today I have a life that is better than anything I had ever imagined for myself. I believe he can lead even the most broken to a place of surrender.
— Annie (Intervention Client)
What you get with Jay
He works with the entire family system, not just the one that calls and the addict.
He makes the arrangements for how to get to treatment.
He works with you for 90 days after.
He helps guide you through turbulent times when you can’t see your own way out.
Jay still works with our family by monitoring my husband through Soberlink, which I couldn’t be more grateful for. I don’t know what my family would have done without Jay.

Jay Schneider cares about families and individuals who are in crisis.
Jay is more than an interventionist, he is a first rate professional dedicated to navigating extremely challenging circumstances with empathy and toughness.
Our family was in crisis, our daughter was not well and addiction was quickly eroding her character and ability to simply function. Jay orchestrated an intervention which was quite emotional and difficult, while also thinking beyond to next steps .Mr Schneider used his network of contacts to land us in the right in patient treatment place and escorted our daughter to another state through two airports all while allaying her fears of flying and therapy.
Without Jay I am not certain our daughter would be in the happy and productive place she enjoys today.
Without reservation, I recommend Bridge to Shore . I know we could never have gotten through our crisis without his expert attention to detail, his conviction that all will be better, and frankly his firm but thoughtful hand.
I was so skeptical that the intervention would work given our long history of failed efforts, and the moment Jay appeared at our home and we walked through how the intervention would proceed and how to manage all our expectations while somehow coercing our daughter to take an enormous leap into treatment and sobriety….honestly I continue to be amazed that Jay shepherded us to a bright and shiny future.
I can only say that if your family is in a similar crisis I urge you to take heart and know that many individuals have been given a new life with Bridge To Shore Interventions.

"In our family’s darkest hour, Jay Schneider gave us hope, direction, and strength.
Our daughter would not be alive today had it not been for his support and guidance.
She is now one year, seven months sober, and (counting).
— Ellen M.
Realizing that my loved one's addiction problem was going to require in-patient recovery was a very challenging time for me. I had so many questions about how to convince them to go, how to get them there and what happens during treatment and beyond. I was referred to Jay Schneider at Bridge To Shore Interventions to help me through the process. Jay is extremely knowledgeable about addiction and recovery. He used these skills to work with me, to craft a successful intervention and to travel with my loved one to treatment. Throughout the process, Jay was very patient with my many questions, boosted my confidence and stayed in constant contact during the planning, execution and treatment phases. He is reliable, professional and responsive. Without utilizing Jay's talents and assistance, I do not believe my loved one would be living a sober life today.
— Jane (Wife of Client)
We can’t say enough great things about Jay and his services. He was extremely kind and patient with our entire family throughout this entire process. If it hadn’t been for Jay, our son wouldn’t have gotten on the plane to attend a treatment center that he desperately needed. Jay went above and beyond communicating with our son, as well as our entire family, even after the process was complete. We would highly recommend Jay to any other family in need.
— Rob & Kim
Jay is a gifted, experienced, resourceful, engaged, empathetic and committed interventionist who went above the call to help our son and our family. He has been a reliable, consistent, steady guide and advisor to my wife and I as we grappled with our son’s addiction and issues. Jay led us pre and post intervention. He brought our son to the first rehab center and later, picked him off the streets and flew with him the next day to the second center in Colorado. Jay is calm under pressure and steady when the waters get rough. He is also firm and strong when the heat rises. He is guided by his own deep recovery work and experience, as well as his “spiritual” connection and guidance. I highly recommend Jay to any family and family member who is facing the turmoil, heartache, challenges and disruption of addiction.

From Colleagues:
“We have had the pleasure to collaborate with Bridge to Shore Interventions for many years. I currently work with Jaywalker Lodge, a men’s treatment program in Carbondale, Colorado.
Our team is always excited to continue care post intervention with a client and family Jay is working with. Intervention is an art, it requires clear boundaries, ethical direction, the ability to direct a family in crisis, all while establishing trust. Jay has an innate ability to connect and create rapport during intervention. We have a high level of trust in his process and follow-through with families and clients he works with. Jay naturally becomes an extension of our clinical team to help navigate family systems and aftercare recommendations for each client.
We endorse Bridge to Shore Interventions and are very grateful for the service and direction Jay provides to people on the path to recovery. We consider Jay not only an exceptional intervention resource, but a friend and leader in the world of recovery.
”
“Intervention is an art, within that art resides its most important element, listening. Jay has mastered the art of listening as well as connecting. Jay’s services provide each family he works with a level of leadership, safety and the absolute knowledge that they will have provided their loved one with the most “thoughtful & loving” process possible.”
“To anyone considering hiring an interventionist, I could not recommend Jay Schneider highly enough. His skillset, integrity, professionalism, compassion, and pure dedication to helping the next person who reaches out, is unmatched.
Working in behavioral health for 14 years has taught me one very important thing - addiction is a family disease. What I admire about Jay’s approach is that he works with the entire family unit, not just the identified individual who may need treatment. By introducing the entire family to recovery, he sets every family up for the most successful path forward. I can honestly say that I would recommend Jay for any one of my clients or my own loved ones.
”
“I have known Jay for many years both personally and professionally. I have the upmost respect for him and all he does to combat the disease of addiction. He is a skilled interventionist, especially with complicated cases and family systems. Jay leads with integrity, and always does the right thing for client and family. If you are looking for a professional for a troubled loved one who is experienced, compassionate and ethical, look no further- Jay Schneider will absolutely be the best call you will ever make.”
