Welcome to Recovery In Action

Families deserve real support not judgment, not confusion. If someone you love is struggling, you don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re here to guide you, step by step.

WHY FAMILIES CALL US

Let’s be honest.
You didn’t find us by Googling “perfect family solutions.”
You probably found us because someone—another family, a treatment center, a therapist—told you:

“You need to call these people. They’re the only ones who will actually tell you the truth.”

And that’s what we do.

We’ve Been Doing This for Nearly 20 Years.

What We Do That Most People Don’t

We don’t do therapy.
We do consulting, coaching, and interventions that give families the tools they’ve never had before.
We do not speak of high “success rates.”
Honestly, healing doesn’t come with a trophy.
Recovery is messy.
Some days, you’re thriving.
Other days you’re just white-knuckling it through another family Zoom.

So, when people ask, “What’s your success rate?” we ask:
“What’s yours for living authentically every day?”

This isn’t a program. This is a relationship.

Whether you’re in the middle of a family crisis, burned out from loving someone who keeps relapsing, or just trying not to lose your mind, Recovery In Action was built for you.
We are not here to save anyone.
We’re here to walk you through arguably the most confusing, painful, beautiful, humbling process you’ll ever go through:

Helping a family recover. Together.

What Happens When You Call Us

We Flip the Script.

Families call expecting us to “fix” their loved one.

What they don’t expect?

We start helping them.

They get annoyed. Confused. Sometimes mad.

“Why are you focusing on us when HE is the one drinking himself to death?!”

Because—truth bomb—every root issue in addiction has some connection to family dynamics, trauma, and history.
That doesn’t mean blame. It means ownership.

Boundaries

the real kind, not the Pinterest kind

Communication

not just yelling or silence

Accountability

Similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia

Support

without losing yourself in the process

Client's Testimonials

“Jay told me what no one else would say—but exactly what I needed to hear.” We were completely drowning. Our son had relapsed again, and we were lost in the chaos. Jay showed up like a caddy with a playbook—no judgment, just clarity and direction. He didn’t sugarcoat anything, and thank God for that. We stopped trying to fix our son and started working on ourselves—and that changed everything.

Melissa D., Atlanta

“Justin was the calm in the storm. Our family actually talks again.” When my brother was spiraling, Justin helped us plan an intervention. He was methodical, thoughtful, and saw 10 steps ahead of all of us. We felt safe with him in charge. The intervention didn’t go perfectly, but the family plan did—and now, six months later, we’re in a completely different place

Amanda S., Chicago

“They’re the duo I never knew we needed.” Jay’s got the street smarts and bold honesty. Justin’s got the calm clinical insight. Somehow, it works. These two helped my parents and I stop yelling, start listening, and build real boundaries with my brother. They’re like the Batman and Robin of family recovery—if Batman wore Vans and Robin quoted Stoicism.

Chris P., Nashville

“My daughter didn’t go to treatment that day... but I did.” We hired Recovery In Action to help us with our daughter’s substance use. Jay told me, “You can’t wait for her to get better before you start living better.” That shook me. I realized I was the one enabling the cycle. I’ve been in family coaching now for 5 months, and I’m finally showing up for my daughter in a way that feels strong, not desperate.

Stephanie R., Austin
