What families usually ask us first
‘My son/daughter won’t admit they have a problem — can you still help?’
Yes. A significant part of our work is supporting the family while a loved one is still resistant. We can help you set boundaries, have better conversations, and understand what’s actually happening.
‘Is this different from rehab?’
Redwood is not a clinical or medical program. We’re private recovery coaches — we work one-on-one, on your schedule, with complete confidentiality. Many families come to us after clinical options haven’t worked, or because their loved one refuses institutional settings.
‘How quickly can we start?’
Usually within 48 hours. There’s no referral, no waiting list, no intake committee.
What private recovery coaching looks like for families
We work with families dealing with:
How to Stop Drinking — And Actually Stay Stopped
If you’re reading this, something has shifted. Maybe last night was too much. Maybe it’s been building for years. Either way — noticing it matters.
Am I drinking too much?
There’s no single answer, but here are the questions worth sitting with:
If any of those land, you’re not broken — but you might benefit from support.
Why ‘just stopping’ is hard
Alcohol dependency isn’t a willpower failure. It’s a pattern the brain has built. Dismantling it takes more than deciding to — it takes a structured approach, accountability and someone in your corner.
What Redwood Recovery offers
We’re private recovery coaches — not a clinic, not a hospital, not a group program. We work one-on-one with people who want to change their relationship with alcohol (or other substances) without a clinical label or public process.
Everything is confidential. You choose the pace. No waiting list.
What the coaching process looks like
1. A private call to talk through where you’re at
2. We build a plan together — realistic, not rigid
3. Regular sessions (phone, video or in-person in Sydney, Melbourne or Gold Coast)
4. Support through the hard moments — including evenings and weekends when cravings hit hardest
You don’t need to have it figured out to call. [Talk to a coach — confidential, no commitment]
—
If you’ve been directed by a magistrate or are navigating a diversion program, you need a structured, documented support process. Redwood Recovery works with people on legal pathways who want private, professional recovery coaching alongside their legal obligations.
Important: Redwood Recovery is a private, non-clinical coaching service. We do not provide clinical treatment, court documentation or legal advice, and we make no representations to courts. If you require court-approved clinical services, please consult your legal representative.
How Redwood supports people on legal pathways
– Structured, consistent coaching sessions with documented attendance records for your own records
– A serious, professional framework — not informal or ad hoc
– Coaching that addresses the behaviours and patterns underlying substance use
– Private and confidential — your employer, family or social network does not need to know
Frequently asked questions
‘Can Redwood provide documentation for my lawyer?’
We can provide records of your engagement with our coaching program. We recommend discussing specific documentation requirements with your solicitor before commencing.
‘How is this different from a court-approved clinical program?’
Redwood is a private coaching service, not a clinical or medical treatment provider. We work best alongside legal pathways, not as a replacement for clinically mandated programs. Your lawyer is the right person to advise on what your specific order requires.
‘How quickly can I start?’
Typically within 48 hours of your first call.
