We engage the entire family to participate in the intervention process. Family support is key to building sustainable recovery. Because every family is unique, we customize the intervention experience to best meet your loved ones needs.
We collaborate with your family to develop a recovery plan for your loved one in crisis, and for the family. We then connect with your treatment providers to ensure quality care is being given at every touchpoint.
We customize recovery services for individuals who need support in addition to their treatment team. With each coaching program, we build a clear action plan with milestones and accountability to achieve lasting success.
Families struggling with the illness of addiction, mental health issues and disordered eating, need safe havens where you will find support for further growth and freedom from the illness. As crisis subsides, our Intensive is ideal to help your family find continued healing, hope, and strength needed to stay aligned in recovery.
Roots Collaborative supports individuals and families recovering from addiction, significant mental health challenges, and various co-occurring disorders. When possible, the entire family system is encouraged to participate in the recovery process to support their loved one’s wellness journey. If everyone makes shifts to grow and heal together, the chances of building sustainable recovery increase greatly from one generation to the next.
Our services are customized to meet each client’s specific needs and stage of recovery. We respond to moments of crisis, advice on pathways for immediate care and stabilization, and collaborate to define what health and wellness looks like moving forward. Through creating a structure for accountability, clear boundaries, and transparent communication, our client families learn to prioritize everyone’s wellbeing over enabling the illness.
Gratefully, our team brings over 65 years of continuous recovery to our work. Having grown up in families affected by alcoholism, we have personally experienced almost every role within the family dynamic. Clients value our deep insight into the nuances of these chronic and progressive illnesses, recognizing that these conditions worsen over time in the absence of world-class, ethical treatment.
We genuinely love helping people heal and recover.
Roots Collaborative was a lifeline for our family when we recognized that we were ill equipped to address our mental health challenges. By identifying generational patterns of addiction, abuse and mental health challenges, Julie and Clay honestly, gently and professionally walked alongside us, equipping and facilitating open dialog between family members and focusing us forward without shame, blame or guilt into a healthier future.
"Julie is an incredible leader, facilitator, and problem solver. She is an expert in her field and incredibly effective. I highly recommend working with Julie of Roots Collaborative. Life changing!"
"I am starting to see the difference between the disease and the person. It’s amazing to witness. I am striving to care for myself so I can be the best momma, sister, daughter & friend I can. I appreciate your help so much."
Ironically, families can endure and tolerate tremendous, interpersonal insanity, but it is typically an outside boundary that creates the opportunity for an intervention. One they won't feel guilty about participating in.
Being the perfect picture of mental health for our children sounds like a very tall order, believe me I know. That said, striving to take of ourselves is one of the biggest gifts we can give to our kids. Modeling healthy behaviors develops trust. Saying one thing while doing another does not.
