Benjamin Zohar, NCACIP
Benjamin Zohar, NCACIP, is co-founder of Intervention New York and Long Island Addiction Treatment Resources. His work focuses on family-centered interventions, family preparation, treatment navigation, placement coordination and recovery education. He also contributes educational content to Long Island Rehab.
Background
Certification: NCACIP (Nationally Certified Advanced Clinical Intervention Professional), a private professional certification issued by The Addictions Academy and held in his own name. New York does not license the title 'interventionist'.
Memberships: NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals (Professional Member); National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI (Advocate Member); International Society of Substance Use Prevention and Treatment Professionals, ISSUP (Network Moderator); California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals, CCAPP (Individual Member). Memberships are not endorsements of Intervention New York.
Roles: interventionist, treatment navigation specialist and addiction recovery educator. He supports the practice's family-facing intervention work while Christopher Veto leads as the primary interventionist, and he has published educational work through ISSUP on addiction, emerging substance-use risks and treatment navigation.
Affiliations: co-founder of Intervention New York and of Long Island Addiction Treatment Resources, contributor of educational content to Long Island Rehab, and affiliated with Every1 Center.
Most of his work is the unglamorous part of an intervention: the preparation calls where a family finally says out loud what it has been avoiding, the phone calls with carriers and admissions staff that decide whether a yes on the day has anywhere to go that afternoon, and coordinating the logistics of treatment placement.
Benjamin writes and reviews the service, cost, process and location pages on this site, and co-wrote the guide on what defines a professional interventionist in New York.

What Benjamin is not qualified to do
- I am not a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist or licensed clinical therapist. I do not diagnose, and I do not prescribe.
- I do not provide treatment. Clinical care is delivered by the licensed program, and my involvement with your relative largely ends at the point of admission.
- I do not give legal advice, and I will not take part in moving an adult who has not consented to go.
- I will not quote you a success rate as though it were audited data, and I will not tell you an intervention is the right step when I do not think it is.
Intervention New York is not a treatment facility, detox or medical provider. In an emergency call 911; for free 24/7 support call or text 988.
