The transition from a residential treatment program to home is often where families need the most support — and where a teen's progress is most vulnerable.
After years of working with families and treatment programs, I built Trustyy to help everyone stay aligned–on goals and expectations, freedoms and privileges–after discharge and turn transition plans into real-life follow-through.
If you work with families navigating this stage and want to learn more about how Trustyy supports the transition process, I’d love to connect with you and show you what we’ve built to protect treatment progress.
The hardest part of recovery often begins after treatment ends.
Today’s teens aren’t just returning home to school, friends, and routines — they’re returning to an online world designed to keep them constantly connected, distracted, and emotionally dependent.
For families navigating the transition from treatment to home, social media addiction can quietly undo progress if healthy structure and accountability aren’t in place.
That’s why recovery support needs to go beyond rules and screen limits.
At Trustyy, we help families rebuild trust, create intentional boundaries, and support lasting progress at home. 💙

What a way to celebrate 35 years of loving friendship, partnership, and adventure-ship!
Nashville business conference, country music, 110 year old Airbnb, reading aloud, free books, fun food, quaint neighborhoods, antique shopping, worshipping with the Saints, rolling green hills, cheering on a come from behind win for the Kentucky Derby, touring @ARCHAcademyorg to see their good work in adolescent addiction, and all with my best friend, @drtimthayne . I love this man who has made my life so full and fantastic.
Oh, and a couple of grandkid pics because our posterity is our greatest joy!

Taking a few minutes to discuss the agenda, the goals, and making sure you are aligned with the other leaders is critical. Same thing for family councils.

Meeting as a family may feel a little awkward at first, but upgrading your communication is worth a little bit of awkwardness.
How have meetings between parents and kids gone at your house? Any success tips you can share for other Trustyy parents?
Parents get worn down by their kids asking for the same thing over and over. They feel their frustration rise when they tell them to stop something over and over.
Well honestly . . . why would they?
There is no negative repercussion for badgering. They actually have history that teaches them that if they keep at it long enough, the parent will finally weaken and give them what they want.

Husband/Wife teams are an interesting blend in the work world. But after 35 years of working side by side, it's interesting to us to see how our strengths have blended to create a life, family, and mission that neither of us could have dreamed of when we were dating.
"You don't respect me!" is a phrase that can be hurled back and forth from teens to parents.
It's also common from parents to their teens. Respect means to be esteemed or honored, and when we are losing our minds on one another, that doesn't look, sound, or feel respectful.
Think back to the last interaction you had with a loved one. How did your tone, your volume, or your gestures show respect? How will you intentionally show up differently next time you are around each other?
We'd love to hear from you in the comments. It helps us all learn!
