Do I need to download an app?

No. Pathroot works on any phone, tablet, or computer in a web browser.

Is Pathroot a treatment program?

No. Pathroot doesn’t provide treatment. It’s a family-first support service that works alongside the team caring for your loved one offering guidance, groups, and day-to-day tools.

How do I sign up?

What if a treatment program referred me to Pathroot?
