Recovery Coaching
Recovery coaching helps individuals gain a solid foundation through strength-based one-on-one support. Recovery or Sober coaches help individuals in all aspects of their recovery program through accountability, relapse prevention, and positive lifestyle choices.
Integrating a Recovery Coach into Your Recovery Process
Adding a recovery coach to your recovery program will ensure accountability and can make a serious positive impact on rebuilding your relationships, family dynamic, and work-life. Sometimes we all need a little help in dealing with things from an outside-educated perspective while being supportive. This is one of the main goals of a recovery coach which can go hand in hand with recovery.
How to know if you need to get a recovery coach to maintain sobriety
Some people, feel that they cannot take time out of their busy schedule to enroll in an inpatient drug or alcohol treatment program. Recovery coaching can be a great alternative to conventional treatment programs. Some recovery coaches will stay at your residence and make sure that you are staying on track with your recovery goals, while others may only come for a set time period every day to help you work on your sobriety. Depending on the addiction and the level of care you feel you need will be the determining factor if a recovery coach is right for you.
Sober coaching has been proven to help those that have had one or more of the following pitfalls to previous recovery attempts, or in need of additional support for life challenges.
- Facing the loss of a professional license
- Have been to a treatment program several times.
- Need more accountability and support.
- Struggling with legal matters
- Custody matters
- Planning to return to college
What do recovery coaches actually do?
Recovery coaching helps family members and loved ones stay connected with your recovery process. Through your consent, family members, employers, licensing board members, school administrators, and probation officers can stay informed and involved in the process. Sobriety coaches incorporate drug and alcohol addiction support and practices including but not limited to the following.
- Personal sober coaching, case management, and evaluations
- Frequent phone contact and family support, for you and designated family members
- Random drug or alcohol testing services to ensure sobriety is maintained
- Recovery compliance documentation
- One-on-one treatment programs
- Sober activity coaching
- Life skills training
Recovery coaching with family members
Substance abuse issues can have a devastating effect on family dynamics. Once a substance abuser has completed treatment for their addiction and handled their case, the family has yet to start the recovery process. Sometimes years of abuse and family dynamic damage can make it hard for the family to accept that the addict is in recovery and trying to get better. Family members may still be struggling with difficulties related to :
- codependency
- distrust
- anxiety
- stress
- powerless feelings
- deteriorated relationships
Through virtual or in-person consultations and recovery coaching sessions with a counselor, family members can reach out for support and guidance to ensure a supportive environment for the recovering addict. Coaching sessions can help family members change their fear-based behaviors that may have developed during the addiction in response to the pain, disappointment, and trauma of living with someone with an addiction problem.
Family sessions with a recovery coach can include:
- Learning to set boundaries
- Relationship rebuilding
- Accountability
