“We are building a system that prevents it,” said Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, following a promising report: overdose deaths in Travis County declined 22% last year, with fentanyl-related deaths dropping 36%. These gains, reported by the Austin American-Statesman, are largely credited to increased access to naloxone and harm reduction efforts fueled by a $2 million federal grant. But as that funding runs out, many worry the progress could stall.

Amid this evolving crisis-response landscape, G3 Recovery Interventions & Consulting is stepping in not as a stopgap, but as a long-term solution.

Healing That Goes Beyond Survival: The G3 Mission

Founded in Austin, G3 Recovery is a consulting and recovery housing organization that offers high-accountability sober living, personalized interventions, and family support services. At its core, G3 believes recovery isn’t just about getting clean it’s about rebuilding a life that feels worth living.

Co-founder Matt shares, “We don’t just ask clients to stay sober we walk with them as they find meaning, connection, and direction again.”

His partner and co-founder Hannah adds, “This work isn’t about fixing people. It’s about seeing the whole person and helping them reclaim their story.”

What Makes G3 Different? A Whole-Person Approach to Recovery

While many programs focus solely on clinical detox or inpatient treatment, G3 picks up where those programs leave off with services designed to sustain and deepen recovery.

Gender-Specific, Luxury Sober Living Homes

G3 offers thoughtfully designed sober living spaces in Austin, tailored separately for men and women. These aren’t just safe places to crash they’re healing environments, complete with:

• Morning structure and recovery-focused routines

• In-house peer mentoring

• 12-step meetings, life skills coaching, and career planning

• Trauma-informed community values

Residents are expected to participate, engage, and support one another. “There’s a kind of quiet magic that happens when people hold each other accountable and celebrate each other’s wins,” says Matt.

Strategic Interventions & Consulting

Whether it’s a family in crisis or an employer trying to support a struggling team member, G3 steps in with custom intervention plans, coaching, and guidance. These services often include:

• Pre-intervention family education

• Structured interventions facilitated by licensed professionals

• Case management and treatment placement

• Post-intervention care plans and accountability follow-ups

G3 also partners with local hospitals and emergency services to help transition individuals into stable recovery environments after overdoses or mental health crises.

Measurable Outcomes and Real Lives Changed

Though recovery is deeply personal, G3 does track impact. Their internal data shows:

• 80% of residents maintain sobriety beyond 6 months

• 2x the national average in residents securing work, education, or volunteer roles within 90 days

• High rates of family reunification and restored relationships

Clients describe the experience as life-changing. “They saw me before I saw myself,” one former resident shares. “Now I’m not just clean I’m proud of who I’m becoming.”

A Bigger Picture: Why Long-Term Support Matters Now

As Travis County’s temporary public health funding winds down, concerns grow that people in early recovery will again fall through the cracks. Harm reduction tools like naloxone save lives but what happens after the overdose?

That’s where G3 steps in.

They’re not just keeping people alive they’re helping them thrive. Through sober housing, professional guidance, and community integration, G3 is building what Austin’s health leaders are calling for: systems that prevent relapse, restore hope, and rebuild lives.

And they’re doing it without waiting on another grant.

Final Word: Hope That Doesn’t Expire

In a moment when the national conversation around substance use is shifting from shame to solutions, from crisis to connection G3 Recovery Interventions & Consulting stands as a model of what recovery can look like when it’s rooted in compassion, structure, and real human relationships.

So if you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, don’t wait for the system to catch up. Reach out to the people who already get it.

Recovery is possible and at G3, it’s personal.
