What Is Recovery Coaching?

A per recovery coach is someone who helps sustain a person in the process of recovery from addiction or substance use/abuse. This individual may also serve as a mentor or personal guide to those seeking recovery as well as those already engaged in the process. Recovery coaches receive formal training and should always be accredited by a state or national entity.

One of the more common credentials held by recovery coaches is Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS). Recovery coach training is a core part of what distinguishes peer recovery coaches from other treatment professionals. While these peer recovery coach credentials are essential, it’s important to note that the relationship between recovery coaches and clients is not a clinical one. Rather, it’s a nonclinical partnership providing a supportive foundation for recovery and wellness.

How a Recovery Coach Can Help You Overcome Addiction

A recovery coach offers life coaching to some extent. They use peer recovery support to help you succeed. This particular method helps by giving you a partner in recovery. Your recovery coach will start by getting an account of your substance use disorder history and other addictive behaviors. They’ll also account for any traumatic events you may have experienced. Recovery coaching ensures they’ll also learn more about your mental health issues and any treatments you’ve already tried. For example, if you’re an alcoholic, they may ask what methods you’ve already tried to stop drinking.

Finally, your sober coach will ask about your recovery goals. From that point, a recovery coach will help you overcome addiction with recovery support that creates a plan to avoid relapse and sustain long-term recovery. Your sober coach will also help you cultivate communication skills so you can ask for help as needed. Coaching services will also help you overcome addiction by helping you develop your confidence and create a change plan that fits your lifestyle. Your sober coach will look beyond your substance use and addiction and help you create the life you want as you learn to accept recovery support.
