Come Home.

A parents' guide to recovery in the years 18 to 25.

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 parents 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.
