How We Work With Families

Investment

When a loved one is struggling with addiction, every decision can feel overwhelming.

Our role is to provide clear, independent guidance so your family can move forward with confidence.

Our Process

Our Advisory Process

  1. Step 1

    Family Strategy Session

    Every client relationship begins with a comprehensive Family Strategy Session where we learn your family's unique circumstances, discuss your concerns, and identify immediate priorities.

  2. Step 2

    The Sondey Method™

    We use The Sondey Method™ to evaluate your family's situation, identify available options, discuss risks and benefits, and build a thoughtful strategy tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Step 3

    The Sondey Strategic Roadmap™

    Together we create a living strategic roadmap that helps your family stay organized, focused, and prepared as circumstances change.

  4. Step 4

    Ongoing Advisory Support

    Families who desire continued guidance may choose one of our advisory service levels for ongoing planning, consultation, and support.

Support

Two Ways We Support Families

Strategic Planning Sessions

Strategic Planning Sessions are comprehensive meetings focused on your family's overall strategy.

During these meetings we review progress, discuss treatment and recovery options, update your Sondey Strategic Roadmap™, establish priorities, answer important questions, and determine next steps.

Think of this as your family's planning meeting.

Advisory Consultations

Life rarely waits until the next scheduled meeting.

Advisory Consultations provide focused guidance between Strategic Planning Sessions whenever important situations arise.

Examples

  • Treatment recommendations
  • Insurance questions
  • Difficult family decisions
  • Changes in your loved one's recovery
  • Preparing for important meetings

These consultations help families make informed decisions while remaining aligned with their overall strategic roadmap.
