💡 Why families choose Spearhead Health:

Families are just as deeply affected by their loved one’s challenges as the individual themselves. That’s why we operate from a family systems perspective, making it a priority to ensure that each family member receives their own meaningful level of support.

At Spearhead Health, we provide dynamic, real-time coaching support—just a phone call away. Whether it’s setting healthy boundaries, rebuilding trust, or discovering new ways to connect, we empower families with the tools and guidance essential for long-term healing.

We work tirelessly to create a safe, healthy, and moderated environment—whether we're in the midst of a crisis, entering stabilization, maintaining progress, or fostering independence. At every stage, we bring families and individuals together to walk the path side by side.

We invite you to explore this further through a powerful TED Talk by our Family Coach, Lisa Smith, who introduces the concept she coins “parallel recovery”—a model that speaks to the unique, essential work families do alongside their loved ones.

Compassionate, High-Touch Support for Complex Clients

When a family from South Texas reached out, their son—a young man in his 20s—was in crisis.
Fresh out of long-term treatment, he had quickly relapsed and was facing legal trouble. His family was overwhelmed. His attorney needed support.
That’s where Spearhead Health stepped in.

We began with a comprehensive psychosocial assessment, then activated our full care management model:
✅ Family coaching to shift long-standing dynamics
✅ On-the-ground recovery coaching multiple times per week
✅ Legal system navigation, including drug testing & court reporting
✅ Coordination of therapy, psychiatric care, and medication management
✅ Direct collaboration with the family’s attorney

At first, the client was hesitant to return to formal treatment—so we focused on building trust, not applying pressure.

Eventually, he transitioned into a long-term experiential program tailored to his needs, supported by neuropsych testing and personalized planning.
📅 One year later:
He’s sober, living independently, and working full time.
His family continues to receive weekly support from our coaching team.
What makes Spearhead Health unique isn’t just our care coordination—it’s our leadership.

Co-founders Ryan and Dean are accredited counselors with deep experience in world-class treatment settings—and personal experience with recovery and the justice system. That lived insight allows us to meet families with credibility, compassion, and precision.

➡️ A key advantage? We have a nationwide network of health coaches, companions, and interventionists—ready to provide boots-on-the-ground support wherever it's needed.

🔹 Supporting a client in crisis?
We’re here to help—wherever "here" is.

Healing Together: Celebrating Progress and Purpose

Today felt like a good day to take a moment to reflect—not just on the incredible growth of those we support, but on our own journeys as well.

Every step forward our clients take reminds us why we do this work. The courage, resilience, and transformation we witness every day inspire us to keep growing, learning, and showing up with compassion and purpose.

One of the most powerful parts of this work is watching healing ripple through entire family systems. When one person begins to heal, their growth often becomes the spark that ignites change in those around them. We've seen relationships mended, communication restored, and hope reawakened—within individuals and within families.

We've walked beside our clients through difficult moments and breakthroughs alike—and in doing so, we've grown alongside them. Their progress is our reminder that healing is possible, change is real, and this work matters deeply.

💚
Here’s to the power of healing, the strength of community, and the purpose that drives us all forward. 💪✨

His journey from personal recovery and healing to client advocacy is powerful and deeply inspiring.
