Overview
Recovery coaches have become more and more common as the need for personalized, experienced, and supportive post-treatment guidance has become more and more apparent. When someone is battling substance use disorder, they must get direct, in-depth, personalized care and support not just from the clinicians at their treatment center but also from a trusted ally who can help them navigate the twists and turns of the road ahead of them.
Recovery coaches either work independently to guide people toward treatment or with treatment centers to help their clients maintain long-term sobriety. They can also work in community centers, recovery residences, drug courts and other criminal justice settings, hospital emergency departments, child welfare agencies, homeless shelters, and behavioral health and primary care settings. An increasing number of alcohol and drug rehab centers are offering recovery coaches as part of their treatment experience.
What Does A Recovery Coach Do?
Recovery coaches are a cornerstone of aftercare. They help people create personalized recovery plans that address their clinical and lifestyle needs.
Some of the core areas in which a recovery coach plays a vital role include:
- Emotional support and guidance through more turbulent and volatile times in recovery.
- Logistical and informational support, including connections to information and referrals to community resources that support health and wellness.
- Linkage to supportive housing if needed.
- Connections to recovery community support, activities, and events
Recovery coaches offer personalized guidance and support for the different aspects of each person’s journey.
Are Recovery Coaches Effective?
The involvement of recovery coaches has been proven to make a significant difference in the decline of relapse rates. They’ve also helped decrease emergency incidents related to substance use, increase treatment retention and satisfaction, create more stable homes, reduce incarceration, and improve access to social support. The reality of recovery is that it can feel lonely and isolating during the first few months. Recovery coaches provide the personalized support and allyship you or your loved one need during these crucial stages and beyond.
