When Silence Hurts: How G3 Recovery Is Helping Families Reconnect


A recent SAMHSA-backed study paints a stark picture: 73% of people with substance use disorders feel “completely misunderstood” by their families, while 81% of family members say they “don’t know how to help without making things worse.” Perhaps most unsettling, the report found that meaningful conversations about recovery happen less than once every six months in affected families.
This communication breakdown isn’t just a statistic it’s a quiet crisis unfolding in living rooms across the country.
Meet G3 Recovery: Rebuilding Families, One Conversation at a Time
Enter G3 Recovery Interventions & Consulting, a family-centered intervention and recovery support group based in Austin, Texas. Led by Matt and Hannah Gibson both in long-term recovery themselves G3’s mission is rooted in lived experience and empathy.
“We understand what it’s like to witness a loved one struggle with addiction. We’ve been through the same fears, uncertainties, and struggle and we found a solution,” says Matt.
Hannah adds, “Addiction doesn’t just impact the individual; it shatters families, rewrites childhoods, and echoes across generations.”

Why This Work Matters Now More Than Ever
Consider again what the SAMHSA study showed: families don’t know how to help, and people in crisis feel isolated. G3 steps into that emotional gap with tools, compassion, and experience.
“Every family speaks a different language,” Matt says. “We’re here to translate that into healing.”
Their model doesn’t just stop the cycle of addiction it rewrites it.
