What is a recovery coach?
Also known as an Addiction Coach or Sobriety Coach, a Recovery Coach is a professionally trained accountability partner that works to help you explore and improve your relationship to drugs or alcohol. You will explore the reasons why you drink or use substances in the first place, and establish healthier ways to meet your needs and cope with life's stressors.
Coaching is a collaborative process and a sobriety coach plays a huge supportive role in helping you achieve your goals. In nearly all cases, massive action and transformation are required to maintain sobriety, and it helps to have a coach in your corner for support and accountability.
A sobriety coach is there to serve your needs regardless of where you are at in life or the recovery process. Familiar with the many different pathways to recovery, they guide, support, mentor and instruct you to get the results you want and have the experience and expertise to see you succeed.
Recovery coaching is an excellent place to triage your needs if you are unsure what level of support or treatment you may need. If you aren't exactly sure what you may need, that's ok.....see if you can relate to some of the examples I've listed below.

There are many things in life that you can figure out on your own, recovery isn't one of them. Let's face it, if you could, you would've done it already and you wouldn't be here. Recovery is a very active, hand's on, continuous process and requires massive, determined action. All of our programs are designed to provide direct 1-1 mentorship, support and accountability to help you navigate the journey ahead. Invest in yourself and see what happens. I promise that if you aren’t satisfied with the results, you can always return to the life you have now.

What is recovery capital?
You’ve probably noticed the term mentioned a few times here. We incorporate a Recovery Capital Assessment during the first session for new clients seeking help with substance use.
Recovery Capital is the internal and external resources utilized in resolving issues on your recovery journey.
Recovery Capital differs from person to person and can be used to assess and evaluate the problem severity in order to understand the shape, intensity and duration of support needed to achieve recovery.
This assessment dictates the intensity or level of care needed in terms of professional treatment and recovery support services.
