Interventions

A professionally guided intervention, matched to your family.

When someone you love is in trouble and nothing you try seems to reach them, a guided intervention gives the whole family one clear plan, one calm room, and one honest invitation to get well.

An intervention is not an ambush. Done well, it is a carefully prepared conversation where the people who love someone most speak with one voice and offer a real path forward. G3 Recovery is led by Matt Gibson, a Certified Interventionist, and Hannah Gibson, both in long-term recovery, so the family in front of us is never a case file. It is a family we understand from the inside.

We work with substance use and with mental health, because the two so often travel together. Some families need a warm, invitational or ARISE style approach that brings the loved one into the process from the first phone call. Others need the structure of a direct, Johnson model intervention. There is no single right answer, and we do not sell one. We help you choose the model that actually fits your loved one, your history, and your goals.

Preparation is where interventions succeed or fail. Before anyone gathers, we coach the family, plan for hard reactions, and line up the next step so a yes leads straight into care rather than into a waiting list. Because G3 is fully independent and takes no referral fees, the treatment options we bring to the table are chosen for clinical fit through our independent treatment navigation, never for what pays us. If your loved one is not ready yet, we may start with family consulting instead, and when the yes comes, sober transport can carry them safely into treatment the same day.

What this includes

What a G3 intervention gives you.

A certified interventionist in the room

Matt Gibson (CAI) leads the process from first call to handoff into care. You are guided by someone who has done this many times and who has lived recovery, not handed a script. Learn more about who we are.

The right model, not a one-size approach

We assess the situation and match the method to it, drawing on invitational and ARISE approaches as well as direct models. If you want to understand the differences first, start with our guide to choosing an intervention model.

Substance use and mental health

Depression, trauma, and other conditions often sit underneath a substance problem. We plan for the whole person so the intervention opens a door to care that treats what is really going on, not just the surface.

A next step that is already in place

A yes only helps if care is ready to receive it. We line up the level of care and the logistics in advance through our RECLAIM approach, so momentum is never lost.

How it works

How an intervention comes together.

The first call

You reach Matt or Hannah directly. We listen, ask about your loved one and your family, and tell you honestly whether an intervention is the right next move or whether something else fits better right now.

Assessment and model selection

We map the history, the risks, and the relationships, then recommend an approach. This is where we choose between invitational, ARISE, and direct models and explain why. You can read how we weigh direct approaches as part of that.

Family preparation

We coach everyone who will take part: what to say, what not to say, how to hold a boundary with love, and how to respond to anger, tears, or a flat no. Nothing about the day is left to chance.

The intervention

We facilitate the conversation and keep it safe and on track. The goal is a genuine yes to help, offered in a way your loved one can accept without shame.

The handoff into care

When your loved one says yes, treatment is ready and, if needed, sober transport takes them there. The family is not left to figure out the next hour alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is an intervention confrontational or an ambush?

No. A good intervention is prepared, respectful, and often invitational, meaning your loved one may be part of the process from the start. We plan carefully so the room stays calm and the invitation to get well is one your loved one can actually hear.

Do you do interventions for mental health, not just addiction?

Yes. We work with mental health concerns as well as substance use, and with the two together, which is common. The plan is built around the whole person so that a yes leads to care that treats the real problem.

What happens if our loved one says no?

A no is not the end. We prepare families for that possibility, and we keep working with you afterward. Family consulting and coaching often move things forward even when the first answer is no, and many people who decline at first come to treatment later.

You do not have to figure this out alone.

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