In Cincinnati, opioids are not news, they are somebody’s brother. Families here have already sat through the ER visits, the promises, and the quiet stretch before the next call. What changes the outcome is a planned conversation with a bed already waiting.

We prepare your family, lead the meeting, and get your loved one to vetted treatment across the Ohio River or across the country.

We also cover Hamilton, Butler, Clermont and Warren counties in Ohio, Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in Kentucky, and Dearborn County in Indiana. We travel to you in person and can start the planning virtually tonight.

Greater Cincinnati has lived through the opioid epidemic up close, and many families here have already lost someone or come frighteningly near to it. That history means the old advice to wait for a loved one to be ready no longer fits the danger. With fentanyl in so much of the drug supply, a single decision can be fatal, and waiting is a gamble few families can afford.

An intervention is how a family stops waiting and acts while there is still time. It is a planned, prepared conversation, not a confrontation or an ambush. If you want to understand exactly what your family is up against and why urgency is not an overreaction, our family guide to fentanyl and opioids lays it out plainly.

The opioid crisis is personal in Cincinnati

Family-led, nationwide

You will reach Matt or Hannah, not a call center.

Wherever you are in Cincinnati, Ohio, one confidential call starts it. We assess your situation and tell you honestly what the right next step is — even when that answer is not us.

How a G3 drug intervention works in Cincinnati

We begin with a planning call, usually the same day you reach us. We learn the substance, the level of risk, the history, and what the family can realistically hold. Then we prepare everyone over one or two sessions and rehearse the meeting until it feels steady rather than overwhelming. We favor invitational, family-systems approaches, because with drug use fear and shame already run high and confrontation seldom holds.

On the day, we facilitate, keep the tone even, and hold the family to the plan you built together. Before anyone speaks, we already know where your loved one goes if the answer is yes, which for many drugs means a medically supervised detox and then the right level of ongoing care. Confirming that in advance is what keeps a yes from unraveling in the hours that follow.

Across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky

We work with families throughout the region: Over-the-Rhine and Downtown, Hyde Park, Oakley, and Clifton, the suburbs of Mason, West Chester, Blue Ash, and Anderson Township in Hamilton County, and across the river into Northern Kentucky communities like Covington and Newport. Wherever your family is, we prepare by phone first, then either meet in person or facilitate securely by video when travel would only add delay.

Cincinnati families often straddle the state line, with relatives on both the Ohio and Kentucky sides and others who have moved away entirely. We prepare everyone who matters by phone and bring distant family into the meeting by video, so your loved one hears one consistent message no matter where each person lives.

Getting to the right care without a referral fee

Detox, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient: the options blur together fast, and drug cases frequently involve medical detox and co-occurring mental health conditions that complicate the choice. Because we take no referral fees, our only job is finding the program that genuinely fits your loved one and your budget. We help you ask about medical detox, licensing, and how a facility handles the specific drug involved, and we help you read what your insurance will really cover.

Independence is the entire point. Because a facility never pays us, we can tell you honestly when a program is wrong, when a different level of care makes more sense, and when the nearest or most advertised option is not the right one for your family.

Sober transport, and when to call 911 or 988

The window between yes and admitted is where drug interventions most often fall apart, and it can be dangerous. Our sober transport puts a trained companion beside your loved one from the moment they agree to the program door, across the metro or across state lines, so the most fragile hours are handled with care rather than left to chance.

Because fentanyl is so prevalent here, every family facing opioid use should know how to recognize an overdose and keep naloxone on hand. If your loved one has overdosed, is unresponsive, or is in immediate danger, call 911 now and use naloxone if you have it. You can also call or text 988 at any hour to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. An intervention is for the serious situation that is not yet an emergency, and we will always tell you to get medical help first when that is what the moment calls for.

What happens when you call

From your first call to the first day of treatment.

Step 01

One confidential call

You tell us what is happening. No script and no pressure. We listen for the details that change the plan: the substances, the history, the risk, and who is actually in the family.

Step 02

We build the plan around you

We choose the model that fits, decide who should be in the room, and confirm a treatment bed that matches the clinical need and the budget — in Hyde Park, elsewhere in Cincinnati, Ohio, or out of state if that is genuinely better.

Step 03

We coach everyone first

Nobody walks in cold. Each person rehearses what they will say, and we plan for the pushback so a hard moment does not derail the room.

Step 04

The day, and the road after

Matt leads the conversation and keeps the tone steady. When the answer is yes, travel is already arranged and our transport team goes with them.

Common questions

Cincinnati, Ohio families ask us this first.

Is it too soon to step in if our loved one is still functioning?
Probably not. With fentanyl in the drug supply, waiting for a crisis is far riskier than it once was. If drug use is shaping the decisions in your family and conversations are not changing it, a prepared intervention is a reasonable next step, not an overreaction.
Can you help if our family is split between Ohio and Kentucky?
Yes. Many Cincinnati families we work with have relatives on both sides of the river. We prepare everyone by phone and bring distant family into the meeting by video so the message stays unified regardless of the state line.
What should we do if there is an overdose?
Call 911 immediately and administer naloxone if you have it. Every family facing opioid use should keep naloxone on hand and know the signs of an overdose. An intervention is for the serious situation that has not yet become an emergency.
What does a Cincinnati intervention cost?

We quote a flat fee before you commit, and it covers the whole engagement: the intake call, coaching sessions with your family, building and rehearsing the plan, leading the intervention, and getting your loved one admitted once there is a yes. Travel is quoted separately and openly, as is sober transport if you need it. We take no referral fees from any treatment center, so the program we recommend is chosen on clinical fit, not on who pays us. Ask for the number on the first call.

Do we really need a professional for this?

You can try it alone, and some families manage. What usually goes wrong is that nobody in the room is neutral. Old grievances surface, one relative softens and offers a deal, and the meeting turns into the argument you have already had many times. An outside professional takes the anger that would otherwise land on you, keeps the conversation on purpose, and has detox and a bed confirmed so a yes can move within hours. With opioids involved, that speed matters more than it does with almost anything else.

What happens after our loved one goes to treatment?

We stay in it. The first two weeks are when families hear the calls asking to come home early, so we prepare you for them and coordinate directly with the clinical team. We help you read what the treatment plan actually commits to, and we plan the step down before discharge: sober living, outpatient care back in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, and what your household will look like when your loved one comes home. The work does not end at admission, and neither do we.

The next step is a conversation

You do not have to figure this out alone.

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