Family Consulting

Coaching for the family when a loved one won’t accept help.

Sometimes the loved one is not ready, but the family cannot wait to start doing something. Family consulting gives you a plan, a coach, and a way to change the pattern from the inside.

Not every family is ready for an intervention, and not every loved one will sit down for one. When you are exhausted, frightened, and getting nothing but no, family consulting gives you somewhere to start. G3 Recovery is led by Matt and Hannah Gibson, both in long-term recovery, and we coach the people around the addiction while we wait for the door to open.

This work rests on a simple truth: the family can change even when the loved one will not. How you respond, what you say, where you hold the line, and where you accidentally keep the problem comfortable all shape what happens next. We help you understand the difference between the approaches available and whether an intervention is the right next step at all. Often, consulting is what makes a later intervention succeed.

We coach you on boundaries, communication, and the behaviors that quietly enable, so that saying yes to help becomes the easiest path for your loved one rather than the hardest. Because G3 is independent and earns no referral fees, our only agenda is your family. When the time is right, we can move seamlessly into a full intervention, connect you with independent treatment navigation, or set up recovery coaching for the day your loved one is ready. You can also learn more about how we work before you decide.

What this includes

What family consulting looks like.

A coach for the people doing the loving

You get direct, ongoing guidance from Matt and Hannah, who have been on both sides of this. Read more about who we are and why families trust us with the hardest season of their lives.

Boundaries that hold, without cutting off

We help you set limits that protect you and stop rewarding the addiction, while keeping the relationship intact. The goal is loving pressure, not punishment.

A read on whether it is time to intervene

Consulting often clarifies whether an intervention is the right next move, or whether more groundwork comes first. You get an honest recommendation, not a sales pitch.

A plan that changes the pattern

We work on communication, enabling, and the family roles that keep everyone stuck, so the system around your loved one starts to shift. Our RECLAIM approach guides that work.

How it works

How we work with your family.

Reach out and talk it through

Call or email and tell us what is happening. We listen without judgment and give you a clear read on where things stand and what is realistic right now.

Map the situation

Together we look at the history, the current risks, the family dynamics, and what has already been tried. This shows us where the leverage actually is.

Build the family plan

You leave with concrete steps: how to respond, what boundaries to set, and what to say the next time your loved one pushes back. Nothing vague, nothing preachy.

Coach through the hard moments

We stay with you as things unfold, adjusting the plan as your loved one reacts. Real situations rarely go in a straight line, and you are not doing this alone.

Move to the next step when it is time

When your loved one is ready, or when the family is ready to press further, we transition into an intervention or straight into treatment navigation.

Frequently asked questions

What if my loved one refuses to get help?

That is exactly what family consulting is for. We coach you on how to respond, where to hold boundaries, and how to make getting help the path of least resistance. Many people who refuse at first come around once the family stops absorbing the consequences for them.

How is consulting different from an intervention?

An intervention is a specific, prepared conversation aimed at a yes. Consulting is ongoing coaching for the family, often used before an intervention, or when a loved one is not ready for one. The two work well together, and consulting frequently sets up a successful intervention later.

Will you just tell us to cut them off?

No. Cutting off is rarely the answer, and it is not our default advice. We help you set boundaries that protect you while keeping the relationship open, because the relationship is often what eventually brings your loved one to treatment.

You do not have to figure this out alone.

One confidential call with G3 begins it. No pressure, no judgment, just a path forward.
