Association of Intervention Specialists

​The Association of Intervention Specialists (AIS) is a network of interventionists located throughout the country and abroad. Members guide families and friends, business executives, and others through the intervention process whereby a person addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs and compulsive behaviors is encouraged to accept help. All full members are Certified Intervention Professionals, thereby meeting or exceeding educational and performance standards. All members adhere to the AIS Code of Ethics.

PicturePhil Plant, Above/Beyond/Sobriety
"There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all treatment," explains Phil Plant who began working with families in crisis when he starting Above and Beyond Counseling Services in 2008. After watching some of the families he had helped continue to struggle with the devastating effects of addiction, he branched out of his Franklin, TN private practice and began traveling around the country visiting treatment facilities, sober-living homes, and furthering his understanding of treatment and recovery.

Phil began Above/Beyond/Sobriety in 2014 as a branch of his counseling practice with a focus on the "addicted family system" and services that include interventions, treatment consulting, recovery management, and individual and family counseling. Above/Beyond/Sobriety is integrated into a vast network of professionals and facilities to create a special course of treatment based on a patient’s specific needs, but Phil stresses "we DO NOT have financial relationships with any treatment centers or clinicians and therefore make our own treatment recommendations based solely on your loved one’s needs. These recommendations are always ones that are most conducive to long-term recovery."  615-753-9724
