When addiction
threatens the family,
we take charge.

Discreet crisis response and family restoration for families of significant wealth. Based in Europe, working worldwide.

WHEN WE ARE CALLED

When families and their
advisors call us

 • A son or daughter arrested, hospitalised or in danger, at home or

   abroad

 • A leak, an incident or a story that threatens the family name 

 • A divorce in which a child who is using becomesthe battleground

 

​

​

• A next generation that is not ready to carry wha the family has built

 • An expensive clinic stay has ended, and the crisis is back

WHY CODE
RED CARE

Why the crisis keeps
coming back

Treatment works on the person.

Recovery happens at home.

Families invest heavily in the best clinics. The child comes home, and within months the old patterns return. Not because treatment failed, but because the family around it never changed.

That is the part we take on. While the clinic treats the person, we work with the parents, directly and honestly, until the foundation of the family has changed. So the family is ready when the child comes home.

HOW WE WORK

Two Phases

1

Put out the fire

We take control of the acute situation: assessment, intervention, safe placement and coordination of every specialist involved. One point of contact for the family and its advisors.

2

Restore the foundation

While the person in crisis is in treatment, we work with the parents and the family system. So the family is ready when they come home, and the crisis does not repeat itself.

ABOUT 

Esther Ras, Lead Case Manager

I founded Code RED Care to give families what I could not find myself: one person who takes charge in a crisis, and who has the courage to tell the parents the truth.

 

I also know this work from the inside, as a mother and a former partner. That is why I never look away from the hard conversations.
