Questions & answers
Answers for you and your family.
The things women and families ask us most. If your question is not here, call us any time and we will answer it honestly.
Your family & children
Keeping your family together.
Yes. Roots and Wings is built for women and their children. Keeping your family together is part of how we support your recovery.
Yes. This is a home for women and their children, and no adult men live here, so it stays a safe, comfortable space for you and your kids.
Give us a call and we will talk through your family and what will work best for you and your children.
Who it is for & daily life
Life in the home.
Women in recovery, including mothers who want to keep their children close, whether you are coming from a treatment program or taking your first steps toward a healthier life.
A calm, substance-free home runs on a little structure: a 10:00pm curfew, daily and weekly chores, random and for-cause drug and alcohol testing, and three to five recovery meetings a week. We go over all of it with you before you move in, so nothing is a surprise. You can see the overview on our House Rules page.
Call us and we will talk through your situation and how we can best support you.
Yes. Building a steady routine is part of getting well. We help you get to meetings, work, and appointments as you rebuild.
Stays are flexible and based on where you are in your recovery. We talk it through together so it fits your goals.
Yes. Curfew is 10:00pm, which keeps the home calm and safe at night, and matters even more with children living here. If you ever need a little longer, just arrange it with the House Manager ahead of time.
Visitors are approved female family members, in the common areas of the home, so it stays safe and comfortable for the women and children who live here. They sign in when they arrive and stay in the shared spaces. Your own children are welcome when arranged in advance, and overnight visits are set up with the House Manager.
Yes. Drug and alcohol testing is done at random and any time there is a reason. Declining a test counts the same as a positive result. It is part of what keeps the home safe and substance-free for every mom and child here.
Yes. Staying connected to your family, your children, your sponsor, and your job is part of rebuilding your life. The one guideline is simple: no photos or videos of other residents without their consent, out of respect for everyone's privacy.
Recovery is rarely a straight line, and a setback does not have to be the end of your journey. Please tell us if you are struggling, before it becomes a relapse, so we can help you find the next right step. We would always rather support you than judge you.
