I meet you where you are in recovery
A recovery coach is focused on your recovery success. I actively listen to your needs and help you create and implement a plan that works for your recovery.
Collaboration with your recovery team
Addiction recovery is a team effort. I feel collaboration with your recovery team is essential for success. I create an environment that welcomes communication with other team members so everyone moves in the same direction to maximize your recovery success.
Goal oriented approach
A recovery coach is focused on results. I help you get the results you want by understanding where you are now, where you want to be, and how to get there.
What is a Recovery Coach?
- A recovery coach helps people with addiction maintain sobriety and live a life of addiction recovery. Recovery coaches focus on action by helping clients develop and implement a recovery action plan.
- Every person follows a different recovery path. A coach is there to help shape that path and provide guidance and accountability to help maintain recovery success.
- A recovery coach can help with setting and realizing life goals. Addiction is frequently a cycle perpetuated by the addict losing focus on his or her ambitions. A recovery coach can help redirect that mindset and help clients focus on life goals.
Why Work with a Recovery Coach?
- People struggling with addiction frequently need motivation to maintain sobriety and persistent recovery. A recovery coach motivates focused work on life and recovery goals. Focus on achieving goals maximizes long-term recovery success.
- Coaches complement therapy. Therapists help addicts understand how their addictions developed and work through past trauma that contributes to addiction. Coaches focus on action and helping addicts implement their recovery plan. Working together, therapists and coaches create an effective team providing a comprehensive approach to addiction recovery.
- When an addict completes detoxification or a rehabilitation program, the support team caring for him or her disappears. Who can he or she turn to for the next steps in sobriety and recovery? A coach can help pick up where the programs left off preventing a gap in care and potential relapse.
