What is a Recovery Coach?
A Recovery Coach promotes recovery and removes barriers and obstacles to recovery, serving as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking or already in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and/or other drugs.
Recovery Coaches who work with the Recovery Center of HOPE are people with recovery experience who have also completed intensive training to offer non-clinical, strengths-based support informed by their own lived experience.
The role of a Recovery Coach complements but does not duplicate or replace the roles of therapists, medical doctors, case managers, or other members of a treatment team.
I choose to be a Recovery Coach because I have been through my own experiences in recovery, and I know that there are many obstacles and consequences due to substance use. I want to be there for someone “where they are” and help them make positive choices that meet their unique needs and circumstances. Some people opt for 12 Step programs or seek spiritual guidance. Others choose a multi-service approach that might include clinical, spiritual, and peer supports. Regardless, my goal is to help each person build confidence and self-esteem and to move past whatever shame they may feel.
