Major Kentucky metros we reach

Kentucky families often arrive with a court option in one hand and exhaustion in the other, from the eastern counties to the Louisville suburbs. Before a courtroom, there is a conversation almost nobody has run properly yet.

We plan that conversation, vet programs on clinical fit with no referral fees, and stay with your family through admission and the first ninety days, whichever road that takes.

Where we work in Kentucky

LouisvilleLexingtonBowling GreenOwensboroCovingtonPaducah

We work the eastern mountain counties, the Purchase area, and the small towns along the Ohio River where distance and thin coverage stack up. G3 travels to you anywhere in Kentucky and can begin planning by phone or video the day you call.

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 Louisville, elsewhere in Kentucky, 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.

Casey's Law, explained plainly

Casey’s Law, formally the Matthew Casey Wethington Act for Substance Abuse Intervention, allows a parent, relative, or friend in Kentucky to petition a court for involuntary treatment of a loved one who cannot recognize their need for help. It is named for a young man who died of an overdose, and it exists because families kept hitting a wall: they could see the danger clearly, but had no legal way to act on it.

The process involves filing a petition, a court review, evaluations, and a hearing, and the petitioner typically agrees to be responsible for the cost of treatment. The details and current requirements can change, so confirm the specifics with a Kentucky attorney or your local court before you rely on any summary, including this one. We can help you think through whether Casey’s Law fits your situation, and our explainer on involuntary commitment gives useful background.

Why an intervention usually comes first

Casey’s Law is a real tool, but it is not a shortcut, and it is not the right first move for most families. Court-ordered treatment can save a life when nothing else will, yet a person who chooses treatment tends to engage with it more fully than one who is compelled. That is why we start with a planned intervention wherever it is safe to do so. Many families who arrive convinced they will need the courts find that a good conversation gets them a yes instead.

Our intervention is built around invitation, not force. We coach the family, choose an approach that keeps your loved one’s dignity intact, and make the case for change clear and immediate. Our guide to choosing an intervention model explains the thinking.

How the intervention is planned

We begin with a confidential call to learn the history, the substances, the relationships, and the risks. From there we design the meeting: who speaks, in what order, and with what message. On the day, Matt leads the room and keeps the emotion from tipping into blame, steering the group toward one decision.

Because we confirm the treatment bed and the travel before the meeting, a yes leads immediately into action. That momentum matters, especially with opioids, where the window between agreement and admission is dangerous to leave open.

Kentucky families deserve guidance that is not for sale. Most referral lines get paid to route your loved one somewhere specific. We do not. G3 is paid only by your family, so our recommendation reflects clinical fit and cost, nothing else. We help you weigh detox, residential care, and outpatient options, drawing on our primer on levels of care.

When the right program is a drive or a flight away, our sober transport team escorts your loved one from your door to the admission desk, so the trip never becomes the reason to quit.

Independent navigation and getting to care

Family-led, nationwide

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

Wherever you are in Kentucky, 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.

Emergencies come first

An intervention and even a Casey’s Law petition take planning, and neither one is a response to a crisis happening right now. If your loved one has overdosed, is threatening suicide, or is in immediate danger, call 911 without waiting. For emotional crisis or suicide risk, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, free and available every hour. SAMHSA’s national helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), offers confidential treatment referrals around the clock. Once the immediate danger is handled, we can help you plan the path that follows.

Common questions

Kentucky families ask us this first.

What is Casey's Law and can it force my loved one into treatment?
Casey’s Law is a Kentucky statute that lets a family member or friend petition a court for involuntary substance-use treatment for someone who cannot recognize their need for help. It involves a petition, evaluations, and a hearing, and the petitioner is generally responsible for treatment costs. The requirements can change, so confirm the current process with a Kentucky attorney or local court.
Should we use Casey's Law or try an intervention first?
For most families, a well-planned intervention is the better first step, because people who choose treatment tend to engage more fully than those who are compelled. Casey’s Law is a valuable backstop when an intervention is not safe or does not succeed. We can help you weigh both.
Do you serve rural Kentucky, not just Louisville and Lexington?
Yes. We work statewide, including Bowling Green, Owensboro, Covington, and rural counties. We plan virtually when needed and travel in for the meeting where it matters most.
What does a G3 intervention cost?

We quote a flat professional fee before you commit to anything. It covers the planning calls, the rehearsal with your family, the intervention itself, and the treatment navigation and handoff that follow the yes. Travel expenses for the interventionist are separate, billed at actual cost, and estimated in advance so there are no surprises. Treatment is billed by the program you choose. We accept no referral fees from any facility, so our fee is the only money we make and it does not shift based on where your loved one goes.

Will insurance pay for residential treatment?

Often a meaningful portion of it, but the details decide everything. Before your family commits, we help you obtain a written verification of benefits: what level of care is authorized, the expected number of covered days, your deductible and out of pocket position, and what happens if the clinical team requests more time. Kentucky families with Medicaid or employer coverage have real options, though they differ sharply by plan. If the coverage is thin, we tell you directly and help you weigh a shorter stay with strong aftercare against cash pay.

What if our loved one refuses on the day?

Some do, and the meeting still changes things. A properly planned intervention includes what every person in the room will do differently starting that hour: the money, the housing, the rides, the cover stories all stop, because everyone agreed to it beforehand. That united follow through is what commonly turns a refusal into a yes within days. We coach your family through those first uncomfortable days, hold the treatment option open where we can, and stay reachable rather than disappearing after one hard afternoon.

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.
