Who We Are

We are a technology company founded by individuals who have
personally faced the same struggles as the families we aim to help.

Pathroot Health

At Pathroot Health, we combine extensive experience in treatment with cutting-edge technology in software and collaboration. Our founders created Phoenix Outdoor, a renowned outdoor experiential treatment program for at-risk adolescents, focusing on substance misuse and behavioral or mental health challenges. Phoenix's highly effective virtual family support program has been widely embraced across the treatment industry.

CEO Carolyn Bradfield faced a devastating loss when her daughter overdosed and died in 2017. In response, she transformed her technology company to create services designed to help families navigate the crisis caused by substance misuse and addiction.
