Empowering our community through holistic, cultural, somatic, and systematic support
Our mission
Liberation of bodies, minds, and spirits
Our Services
We understand that true wellness stems from addressing every facet of your being, and our team of experienced professionals is committed to guiding you toward lasting transformation.
✊🏽 Recovery Is Resistance
Addiction and oppression are intertwined. When we’re trapped in survival mode, we adapt to systems that harm us instead of challenging them.Healing and sobriety give us the awareness and power to fight for ourselves, to reclaim control, and to stop letting the addiction industrial complex profit from our pain.When we heal, we become clear, conscious, and capable of building the lives we deserve — for ourselves and for future generations.
What to Expect in Our IOP
Our program combines evidence-informed therapy, somatic healing, and community care in a safe, culturally grounded environment.
Healing Forward
When we heal, we don’t just change our own lives — we transform our lineage.
Every act of healing regulates not only your nervous system, but the generations that come after you.
That’s liberation. That’s recovery. That’s the Roots Wellness Center way.
Radical “Vagus” Nerve to Heal™ — Healing Is Liberation. Recovery is a radical act. Healing is political.
We focus on overcoming isolation and barriers to care for marginalized populations facing mental health, substance use, and homelessness challenges.
Our holistic approach considers historical trauma and current oppressions, aiming to reduce disparities by offering in-home, community-based, and outpatient services that accommodate various limitations, ensuring equitable access to care and promoting family unity.
Our RWC Outpatient Treatment program approaches substance use and mental health with a social justice focus, recognizing the role of social injustices in addiction cycles.
Our purpose-built program offers a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, community-based environment for behavioral health services, providing comprehensive care including outpatient counseling, wellness services, assessments, and recovery management to support lifelong recovery for adults facing substance use and mental health challenges.
Our Virtual IOP Program brings healing home — combining flexibility with deep, culturally-rooted care.
Grounded in social justice, our virtual Intensive Outpatient Program addresses substance use and mental health with a holistic, somatic approach.
From the comfort of home, clients engage in trauma-informed services that honor cultural traditions and healing practices, including drumming, yoga, reiki, sound healing, sage smudging (by Native staff), aromatherapy, and more.
We center the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while making care accessible, de-westernized, and deeply restorative.
Rising Roots provides a holistic, inclusive space where children can flourish emotionally, socially, and academically. Our combination of compassionate care, evidence-based practices, and cultural sensitivity makes us a trusted partner in your child’s journey toward growth and healing.
We are dedicated to improving quality and reducing disparities in behavioral healthcare through education and advocacy. Our professional trainings provide cutting-edge information and education from leading industry experts!
