Carolyn
I became a Recovery Coach to find purpose in my Recovery. I’ve always loved helping people but didn’t know which avenue I wanted to take in order to do that. After I got sober, I knew I wanted to work with others in recovery as well as people searching for their own reasons to get healthy again. I got certified 2 years ago, and I love every second of what I do. I coach everyone from the homeless to people in treatment and everything in between. I use my lived experience to connect with my clients on a deeper level. Being able to use my trauma and help others who have been in similar situations makes me feel fulfilled in my job. Being able to see a client go from nothing and being at their bottom to seeing the growth and success in their lives is amazing. Being able to set my clients up with a viable plan to fulfill goals and make them successful in those areas of struggle.
Importance of Recovery Coaching
Recovery coaching is an integral part of early recovery, as it can provide crucial support and guidance during this critical time.
Early recovery is a challenging period, as individuals are working to break free from their addiction and establish healthy habits. It can be a time of great uncertainty and discomfort, as individuals adjust to a new way of living without the substance they were previously reliant on.
This is where recovery coaching can be invaluable. A recovery coach is a trained professional who helps individuals navigate the challenges of early recovery and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. They can provide one-on-one support and guidance, as well as connect individuals with resources and tools to support their recovery journey.
One of the key benefits of recovery coaching is that it is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals. Recovery coaches work with their clients to identify areas of need and develop a personalized plan to help them achieve their desired outcomes. This can include support with managing cravings, building a sober support network, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
Recovery coaching can also help individuals build resilience and coping skills, which are crucial for navigating the ups and downs of early recovery. A coach can provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for clients to process their emotions and work through any challenges they may be facing.
In addition, recovery coaching can provide accountability and motivation. A coach can help individuals stay on track with their recovery goals and provide encouragement and support when they may be feeling discouraged.
Overall, recovery coaching is an essential component of early recovery. It provides individuals with the support and guidance they need to navigate the challenges of this critical period and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of family and friends in recovery coaching?
Family and friends can play an important role in recovery coaching by providing emotional support, encouragement, and accountability to the individual in recovery. Recovery coaches can work with family and friends to help them understand the recovery process and provide them with tools and resources to support their loved one’s sobriety.
Can recovery coaching be combined with other forms of treatment?
Yes, recovery coaching can be combined with other forms of treatment, such as therapy, medication-assisted treatment, or group support programs like 12-step meetings. Recovery coaches can work with other healthcare providers to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to the individual’s recovery. This can be especially helpful for individuals with complex needs or co-occurring mental health disorders.
How does recovery coaching support holistic wellness?
Recovery coaching supports holistic wellness by addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the individual’s recovery. Recovery coaches may incorporate holistic practices such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, and nutrition into their coaching to support the individual’s overall well-being.
How can I find a recovery coach?
There are several ways to find a recovery coach, including online directories, word of mouth recommendations, and referrals from healthcare providers or treatment centers. It’s important to choose a coach who is qualified and experienced, and whose approach and values align with yours.
How can I get started with recovery coaching?
To get started with recovery coaching, you can reach out to us, or a certified recovery coach or a recovery coaching program in your area. The coach will typically conduct an initial consultation to assess your needs and goals and develop a personalized coaching plan. It’s essential to be open and honest with your coach and to actively participate in the coaching process to achieve the best possible outcomes.
What is the difference between a recovery coach and a therapist?
Recovery coaches and therapists have different roles and qualifications. Therapists are licensed healthcare providers who diagnose and treat mental health disorders using evidence-based interventions. Recovery coaches, on the other hand, are peer support specialists who provide non-clinical support and accountability to individuals in recovery. Recovery coaching can be used in conjunction with therapy but is not a substitute for it.
