What we ask of everyone

The agreement

None of this is about control.

Every rule here exists for one reason: to protect the women and children who call this place home. Living at Roots and Wings means agreeing to keep them, for your own recovery and for everyone else's. And if something ever feels unclear, you can always ask. We would rather talk it through than leave you guessing.
