When Families Hit a Breaking Point, Connection Becomes the First Step to Healing


The Power of Family-Led Intervention
A recent study published in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment revealed something many of us in this field have witnessed for years: family involvement is one of the most powerful predictors of successful recovery. The research found that “involving family members in structured interventions increased treatment engagement rates by over 70%,” especially in cases where the individual was initially resistant or ambivalent.
This confirms what so many families already know deep down connection, not isolation, is the key to change.
Who We Are and What We Do
At Clear Path Intervention, we meet families in that fragile space between fear and love. We specialize in helping families navigate addiction, mental health crises, and complex behavioral challenges with clarity, compassion, and professionalism. When people reach out to us, it’s often in a moment of profound uncertainty. What they’re really looking for is direction and a team they can trust to walk beside them.
“There’s usually a lot of pain in the room when we first connect with a family,” says a member of our team. “But there’s also love. That love is what we help people build from.”
Our mission is grounded in the belief that no one should have to go through this process alone. We’re here to guide families through every step of an intervention calmly, strategically, and with deep respect for everyone involved.
Our Unique Approach: Rooted in Relationship, Not Confrontation
Unlike old-school intervention models rooted in confrontation, our approach focuses on relationship and readiness. We work with families to create tailored intervention plans that prioritize dignity, trust, and long-term outcomes not just quick fixes. And when treatment is needed, we help clients access ethical, high-quality care across the country through our trusted network of vetted providers.
What We Offer
Our services are designed to address the needs of both the individual and the entire family system. These include:
Professional Interventions for substance use, mental health, dual-diagnosis, and crisis-related situations
Family Coaching & Education, even when a loved one isn’t ready to accept help
Treatment Placement Support, ensuring alignment between individual needs and provider specialties
Case Management & Aftercare Planning, for sustained recovery and family healing
What sets us apart is the depth of our support. We don’t just plan an intervention we help families prepare emotionally, communicate effectively, and understand how to set healthy boundaries. And we stay engaged after the intervention, ensuring our clients and their loved ones are never left to figure things out alone.
Measurable Impact and Real Results
In the last year alone, over 80% of our intervention cases resulted in successful treatment entry within 72 hours. But more than that, we’ve seen families begin to reconnect, repair trust, and step into a new chapter of healing together.
“There’s no single roadmap to recovery,” Brad Garraway our founder shares. “But when families realize they don’t have to wait for rock bottom, and that they can take loving, proactive steps forward everything changes.”
Hope Is Not Out of Reach
The crisis is real. But so is the hope. As this new research reminds us, early and family-led intervention is not only possible it’s incredibly effective. At Clear Path, we’re honored to be part of that process: helping families find their voice, restore connection, and reclaim the future.
If your family is struggling and you don’t know what to do next, know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to help you find your way forward step by step, with care.
