The 2025 UNODC World Drug Report paints a stark picture: drug use worldwide continues to rise, fueled by synthetic opioids, conflict-driven instability, and deepening economic and social fractures. According to the report, “Global instability is compounding the world drug problem, driving both supply and demand.”

Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are now responsible for over 70% of opioid-related deaths in North America, while treatment access remains uneven and often out of reach for families in crisis.

These aren’t just global headlines they’re gut-wrenching realities hitting American households every single day.

Where Desperation Meets Hope

That’s where Clear Path Intervention steps in.

Founded with the belief that addiction doesn’t just affect the individual, but the entire family unit, Clear Path offers nationwide intervention services designed to create a turning point when words alone haven’t been enough, and desperation meets the need for real help.

“We meet families at their breaking point,” says Brad Garraway*, founder of Clear Path Intervention. “Most people don’t realize how isolating and traumatic it is to watch someone you love self-destruct.”*

Compassion Over Confrontation

Unlike one-size-fits-all programs, Clear Path specializes in customized, compassionate intervention planning, often within 24 to 72 hours of initial contact. They work hand-in-hand with families to develop a strategy that’s not only clinically informed but emotionally grounded.

“Intervention isn’t about confrontation it’s about connection,” adds Roger Patteson . “It’s about showing the individual that change is possible, and that their family is willing to walk beside them toward recovery.”

This empathy-first approach is what sets Clear Path apart. Many of the team members have walked through addiction themselves or supported a loved one through it. They understand the nuance, pain, and hope families bring to the table and they meet them there.

The Ripple Effect of Real Change

Clear Path’s services don’t end once someone agrees to treatment. They provide post-intervention support, assist with placement in vetted treatment facilities, and guide families through the emotional and logistical complexities that follow.

The results? Families reunited, lives reclaimed, and cycles of generational trauma disrupted. It’s not just about getting someone into rehab it’s about creating a path toward lifelong recovery for everyone involved.

A Vital Role in a Growing Emergency

As the UN’s report makes clear, substance use is no longer just a health issue it’s a humanitarian one. From war zones to rural towns, the ripple effects are profound.

But amidst the staggering data and heartbreaking stories, there are still points of light. Families choosing to act. Individuals choosing recovery. And interventionists showing them the way.

“It’s never too late,” says Chip. “We’ve seen people turn their lives around after decades of use. And that change almost always starts with someone brave enough to say, ‘I need help and I’m not going to let you go through this alone.’”

In a world overwhelmed by crisis, Clear Path Intervention offers families something rare: a plan, a partner, and a promise that recovery is possible.
