Vital Intervention Professionals
Brandon Knauss, a person in long term recovery, and his mom, Debbie Knauss, founded VIP Recovery after overcoming their own trials in managing Brandon's addiction and substance use disorder. Because of the complexity of each situation, through many years of training, and the ability to empathize while providing strong and firm leadership, Brandon and Debbie understand how to manage, plan, and stage an intervention to motivate your loved one to receive treatment. They know firsthand how difficult it is to watch a family member, co-worker, or spouse suffer from addiction, substance abuse, or mental illness. Brandon, Debbie, and their skilled team of trained interventionists can travel anywhere throughout the United States to lead these vital conversations, which can save a person's life and start helping heal relationships.

Debbie and Brandon Knauss
Brandon Knauss is a person in longterm recovery and Debbie Knauss, his mom, helped provide support throughout each step of his treatment. Before starting VIP Recovery, Debbie and Brandon Knauss regularly appeared on the Dr. Phil show to help Brandon seek treatment and recover. Without proper intervention, Debbie and Brandon know that they would not be here today to guide others through the complex intervention, treatment, and recovery process. Through a highly specialized intervention method, Brandon and Debbie travel all across America guiding other families toward the shining light of recovery. As skilled interventionists, Brandon can provide a compassionate perspective while maintaining a firm stance, and Debbie is extremely knowledgeable about how behaviors impact the family, close friends, and co-workers.
