Professional Interventionist in Texas
A Professional Interventionist in Texas, From Our Austin Home
Texas is our home. From our Austin base, G3 Recovery guides families through intervention and independent treatment navigation in every corner of the state.
Texas is big enough that families in Lubbock and families in the Valley describe completely different problems, and both get the same call-center sales pitch when they search for help. You need someone independent, in the room, who knows the state.
We are based in Austin. We plan the intervention with you, run it, and then navigate treatment with no financial stake in where your loved one lands.
Where we work in Texas
Beyond the metros we work in the Panhandle, West Texas, East Texas, and the Rio Grande Valley, where the nearest program may be hours away. We drive or fly to you, and we can begin planning by phone or video today.
What happens when you call
From your first call to the first day of treatment.
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.
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 Houston, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state if that is genuinely better.
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.
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.
How we help
Three ways we support Texas families.
Family Intervention
A planned, coached conversation that unites your family behind one message and one clear option to say yes to.
Explore →02Treatment Navigation
Independent placement with no referral fees, matched to the clinical need and your budget rather than a facility’s marketing deal.
Explore →03Sober Transport
When a yes means travelling to care, a trained escort stays with your loved one every mile of the way.
Explore →Texas is big, proud, and often quiet about pain. Families here tend to handle things privately for a long time, sometimes too long. By the time many call us, they have already tried talking, pleading, bargaining, and paying off consequences. What they have not tried is a coordinated plan that stops the negotiating and offers a clear, loving path into treatment.
That is what an intervention is: not a confrontation, but a structured moment where a family finally speaks with one voice. We spend the days beforehand coaching parents, siblings, and spouses on what to say, what boundary to hold, and how to keep the room calm when it gets hard. If your family is still stuck at the conversation stage, our guide to setting boundaries with a loved one is a good place to begin.
Why Texas families reach out to us
From Austin to every metro we serve
We are close to the ground in the four largest metros. In Austin, our home, we can often be with a family the same day. Houston brings the widest range of programs in the state and the traffic to match, so we plan travel windows carefully. Dallas and Fort Worth families have strong regional options and busy court dockets. San Antonio and the border region, including El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, add distance and language considerations we plan around.
We also serve the parts of Texas that get overlooked: the Panhandle, East Texas, the Permian Basin, and the Hill Country towns where the nearest program is a long drive. Distance changes the logistics, never the level of care you deserve, and we build the timeline of the intervention around the trip that follows it.
How a G3 intervention comes together
The work starts on the phone. We learn the history, the substances, the relationships, and the risks, and we ask who in the family the loved one actually listens to. From there we choose a model. Some Texas families do best with a warm, invitational approach; others need a direct model with consequences already decided and agreed.
We rehearse the meeting so nobody freezes, and we plan the logistics of the day down to who sits where and who speaks when. We also plan for the answer we want. A bed is held, a bag is packed, and transport is ready before anyone says yes, because the window between yes and departure is where good plans fall apart. Compare the main approaches in our overview of intervention models.
Independent treatment navigation, no referral fees
Here is the part of the industry most families never see: many placement services quietly earn commissions from the centers they recommend. We do not. G3 takes no referral fees, ever, which means when we point you toward a program it is because it fits, not because it pays. Whether the right level of care is medical detox, residential, PHP, or intensive outpatient in Houston or Dallas, we match the person to the program and the budget.
We also read the fine print with you: insurance, length of stay, and what actually happens after the first thirty days, so a place that looks right on the tour holds up once your loved one is inside it. Learn how the tiers of care work in our levels of care guide, and what to ask about cost in our paying for treatment explainer.
Family-led, nationwide
You will reach Matt or Hannah, not a call center.
Wherever you are in Texas, 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.
Sober transport across a very large state
Texas is roughly 800 miles across, and the right program is not always nearby. The stretch between agreeing to go and arriving at the door is genuinely dangerous, because ambivalence and withdrawal both peak there. A person who said yes at breakfast can talk themselves out of it by lunch.
Our sober transport pairs your loved one with an experienced companion who handles the drive or flight, the check-in, and the hard hours in between. Families in Austin, Houston, and Dallas use it constantly, and so do families sending someone out of state. It is one of the quietest, most important things we do.
Families often ask whether they can compel someone into care. Texas has emergency mental health and court-involved procedures, and the specifics change case by case and county by county. We are not attorneys, and we do not promise legal outcomes.
What we do is help you understand the landscape, prepare, and connect with a Texas attorney or your local probate or county court. Always confirm current statutes and process with local counsel before acting, and treat the legal route as a backstop to a willing yes, not a substitute for one. Our involuntary commitment guide explains how these systems generally function.
Court-ordered treatment and the legal picture in Texas
The family recovers too
Addiction is a family experience, so recovery has to be one as well. When your loved one enters treatment, the roles everyone fell into do not simply vanish, and old resentments can quietly undermine the first fragile weeks if no one names them.
We keep working with parents, partners, and siblings through the first ninety days, and we offer ongoing recovery coaching when it helps the whole system hold steady. Healing the family is not an afterthought here. It is half the point. Our family recovery guide shows what that track looks like.
Common questions
Texas families ask us this first.
You are in Austin, but can you help in Houston or Dallas the same week?
Can a Texas family force someone into treatment?
Do you charge referral fees to treatment centers?
Does insurance cover treatment in Texas?
Insurance rarely covers intervention services, so expect that piece to be private pay. Treatment is a different conversation: many commercial plans cover detox, residential, and outpatient levels of care, though what gets authorized and for how long varies plan by plan. Texas has a large treatment market, and some programs are better at billing than at clinical work. Before you commit, we verify benefits, ask direct questions about authorization and length of stay, and give you a realistic cost picture. If a program will not answer plainly, that is your answer.
What if he refuses to go to treatment?
We plan for that before the day rather than hoping it does not happen. Your family decides in advance what changes if the answer is no: the truck, the phone bill, the spare room, the money that has been quietly keeping things afloat. Those decisions have to be real, and everyone has to hold them together. Many people who say no at the table call within days, once the household stops absorbing the cost of the addiction, and we stay reachable for exactly that call. Nobody is threatened, cornered, or shamed in a G3 intervention.
Can our family do an intervention without help?
You can, and some families pull it off. The common failures are predictable: it becomes the same fight with an audience, one person goes off plan and blows up the room, or your loved one says yes and there is no bed, no flight, and no admissions contact waiting. Our job is to keep the room steady, take the anger that would otherwise land on a spouse or a child, and have treatment lined up in advance. If you go it alone, secure the admission before you sit down, because a yes with nowhere to go fades fast.
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.
