How to Talk About Addiction Without Pushing Someone Away — And How G3 Recovery Is Changing the Conversation in Austin

A recent Psychology Today article titled “How to Steer a Loved One With a Substance Use Disorder to Change” underscores a challenging reality: “No one dealing with a substance use disorder wants to be suffering.” The piece emphasizes that changing your own behavior can be the catalyst for your loved one to change theirs.

In Austin, Texas, G3 Recovery Interventions & Consulting is embodying this compassionate approach. Founded by Matt and Hannah Gibson, both in long-term recovery, G3 Recovery offers a family-centered approach to addiction intervention and support.


From Personal Struggles to Purposeful Support

Matt and Hannah's personal journeys through addiction and recovery deeply inform their work. Hannah overcame alcoholism in her late teens and early twenties, committing to treatment after an intervention in 2013. Matt battled severe addiction throughout his twenties, leading to homelessness before finding recovery in 2017. Their experiences have instilled in them a profound empathy for individuals struggling with addiction and their families.

“We’ve walked in your shoes,” says Matt. “Our mission is to bring families back together by turning pain into purpose and struggles into strengths.”


A Unique, Compassionate Approach

G3 Recovery's services are tailored to each family's unique needs, offering:

  • ARISE® Invitational and Non-Invitational Interventions: A respectful, non-confrontational method encouraging individuals to accept help.

  • Family Consulting: Guidance for families to develop healthy communication and boundaries.

  • Sober Transport Services: Safe, supportive transportation to treatment facilities.

  • Personalized Recovery Coaching: Ongoing support to navigate the recovery journey.

Their evidence-based "G3 Reclaim Approach" focuses on uniting families, offering personalized guidance, and fostering growth to rebuild relationships and inspire lasting change.


Real Impact, Real Stories

Clients of G3 Recovery often speak to the profound impact of Matt and Hannah's work. One graduate shared, “G3 has been a saving grace for me. Not only did G3 provide respite during a dark time, it helped me transition out of it. The community support has been like family for me.”


Bringing Families Back Together

The Psychology Today article emphasizes leading with love, not fear—a principle that G3 Recovery embodies in every aspect of their work. By offering compassionate support rooted in real-life experience, Matt and Hannah Gibson are helping families navigate the challenges of addiction with empathy and hope.

For those seeking guidance on how to approach a loved one struggling with addiction, G3 Recovery Interventions & Consulting provides professional intervention services across Texas—offering a path forward that prioritizes connection, understanding, and lasting healing.
