ABOUT MARC

MARC KANTOR, CIP

Certified Intervention Professional

Marc Kantor was raised on Long Island, New York. In 1996 he graduated from American University in Washington, D.C. where he lived for 22 years working in commercial real estate.

Kantor recovered from drug addiction and alcoholism in 2004 at the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, California. In 2013 he devoted his time training as a professional addiction interventionist and earned his Credentials as Certified Intervention Professional (CIP).

In 2018 he relocated to South Florida with his wife of 20 years and their teenage daughter, where he started South Florida Intervention which offers individualized solutions for families and organizations struggling with the devastating effects of addiction. According to Kantor, he spent the last two years of his commercial real estate career listening to his loud and nagging inner-voice telling him he desperately needed to make changes. Succumbing to “the voice” is the best thing I ever did he says.

Marc has previously held Board of Directors positions for Active Minds, which provides mental health support for thousands of college students at 500 individual campuses, and Crisis Link, a crisis and suicide prevention hotline for Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Kantor is committed to supporting families and professional organizations by educating people about addiction and develop action plans to reunite families into a healthy environment. Marc writes frequently about addiction recovery offering hope to thousands of families and individuals still suffering from the disease of addiction. Marc Kantor is a gifted and entertaining public speaker who openly shares his own decade-long story of prescription pill addiction and alcohol. While addiction is a life-threatening disease, he strikes a perfect balance between engaging audiences and communicating the seriousness of the ongoing drug epidemic which is destroying many small American communities.
