About Red Roof Recovery

Programs for Better Mental Health

About

Tanya MacIntyre is a Certified TEAM-CBT Specialist. Her husband of 30+ years, Lance, is the support person for family & friends.

Red Roof Recovery was created during the pandemic, when Tanya lost her job and her direction.

She had been self-medicating mental health & addiction illnesses for most of her life and finally managed to overcome alcohol & other drug addictions in 2018 (after 9 years of setbacks while in 12-step programs).

Tanya says, “I am living proof that it’s never too late to create a life you’ll never need to escape from again!”

During my stay at Red Roof Recovery, Tanya provided a safe non-judgmental space of compassion, respect, and complete honesty. The trust we were able to quickly establish and continue to develop over the course of the week was the quintessential ‘ingredient’ that catalyzed my ability to navigate through the peaks and valleys of my past.

Tanya patiently and skillfully introduced me to several life recovery therapy models that immediately resonated with me and shed an understanding of self that I have never experienced before.

With every exercise we worked on, her compassion and tenacity began to erode my ‘protective’ facade. For the first time in a long time, the ‘veil’ of distortion toward my world view, and moreso myself, started falling away.

This was an extremely intensive one-week program designed and modified specifically for my needs and desired outcome. The uniqueness and personalization of Tanya’s program is truly at its core a ‘game changer’. I arrived at Red Roof Recovery as a fragile, fragmented individual and left as a complete person with a regained passion for life!
