Research indicates that families involved in the recovery process help lower the relapse rate by as much as 50%. However, treatment programs often lack the resources to provide the education and on-going support families need to become strong recovery partners.
Pathroot is a new service designed to fill the gap in family support by empowering families with the connections and knowledge they need to make informed decisions, address broken family dynamics, and stay on the path to healing and recovery. The service offers peer mentors, support groups, learning centers, live streams and more to engage and support family members.
