A GUIDE FROM PELAGUS VITAE

When They
Come Home.

A guide for families, on recovery in the years 18 to 25.

Someone you love is between 18 and 25 and finding their way into recovery, whether out of treatment or another way. Something particular happens in those years that most recovery guides miss. This one is written for the families of young adults navigating that specific window.

What you'll find in these pages.

Why the years 18 to 25 aren't adulthood, they're the making of it.
Three things young adults in recovery actually need (none of them look like protection).
What to say (and what to stop saying) that most families get wrong.
The signals worth acting on, and the ones that are just being 22.

Colin has spent the last decade around people in early recovery, and the families who love them. He co-founded Pelagus Vitae to build the kind of aftercare he wishes had existed for him.

Common questions.

Is this too late if my child is already 25?

The window is developmental, not a birthday cut-off. If your person is 25–27, most of the guide still applies.

My child is under 18. Is this still useful?

Some of it. But the guide is calibrated for the 18–25 developmental window specifically. For under-18s, we recommend reaching out directly at colin@pelagusvitae.com.
