About Us
What is a Recovery Coach?
A coach offers guidance on the recovery experience, introduction to communities of recovery, consultation on problems encountered in early recovery, on-going monitoring of recovery stability, assistance with lifestyle reconstruction, and, if needed, support through lapses and relapses. Many recovering substance users benefit from a personal guide who has lived experience and can facilitate disengagement from the culture of addiction and engagement in a culture of recovery. A Recovery Coach offers a level of accountability and personal attention to clients by:
- using a collaborative, client centered, strength-based approach.
- helping increase motivation to reach goals.
- focusing on action & outcome.
- identifying and removing barriers to recovery.
- connecting individuals to community resources and mutual support groups.
- bridging the gap between live-in treatment and community integration.
- assisting with life skills including proper eating habits, exercise, budgeting, employment readiness and establishing a self-care plan.
