Collective Roots APG
“Rooted in recovery - collectively supporting teens and families, always.”
Welcome to Collective Roots Alternative Peer Groups (APG). We are a beacon of hope and transformation for teens in early addiction recovery and their families.
We take pride in being a comprehensive recovery program that understands the unique challenges that come with the first 18 months to 4 years of early recovery.
Through peer recovery, and community support, we provide the guidance and care needed to help young people reclaim their lives.
What is an APG?
Collective roots addresses drug and alcohol recovery holistically by coordinating care with treatment partners, helping teens achieve the best outcomes.
Alternative Peer Groups (APG) are a unique recovery treatment model designed for adolescents and young adults struggling with substance use disorders. The model was created to address the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and social needs of teens working toward recovery from substance abuse.
Key features of the model include:
peer support
social activities
family support
All paired with evidence-based treatment and coordination of care.
Collective Roots APG serves as the central Care Coordinator for treatment services and recovery support services (RSSs) provided by Recovery Schools, and community-based agencies and organizations.
Our Youth
We recognize the importance of honoring every member of the APG in ways that care for their entire well-being: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
By fostering safe spaces to be open, we ensure that youth voices are heard and that every teen has the chance to fit in and feel accepted on their recovery journey.
It is imperative that our community and programming be free of discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, age, creed, religion, national origin, ethnicity, physical disability, or sexual orientation.
Help Our Youth
Adolescents struggling with addiction need your help. Your donation or sponsorship provides vital support for their recovery journey—whether through funding, donating items, volunteering or event sponsorship.
Together, we can help teens achieve aspirations and provide the peer collective they need to thrive.
Help Us Give Teens a Second Chance.
