Addiction Recovery CoachingWhat is Recovery?"Recovery is a process of restoring or developing a positive and meaningful sense of identity apart from one's condition and then rebuilding one's life despite. or within the limitations imposed by that condition. " ~Thomas A Kirk, Jr., Ph.D., Commissioner Addiction Recovery Coaching supports individuals recovering from alcohol addiction, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other addictive behaviors or patterns. Unlike most therapy or substance abuse programs, coaching focuses on the positive aspects in your life and helps reinforce your strengths while you work through the Stages of Change. Coaching is Strength-Based, we don't focus on the problems in your life or try to "fix what's wrong". As a coach I believe that you have the strength to achieve success in your recovery efforts and together we will walk side-by-side while you go through the changes you need to complete. Coaching is also an excellent way to support your existing recovery efforts. It can work in conjunction with therapy, recovery groups, workshops, and in-patient treatment. And it works over the phone, via email and even your webcam, so it’s available no matter where you live. Recovery coaching can assist you no mater what stage you are in and bring real change in to your life on a lasting basis. The rate of relapse, or what we like to call recycling, can be drastically reduced when people have access to a trained professional recovery coach to help them navigate the transitions and shifts required for long term successful recovery.

Unfortunately most programs drop support for those whose go into relapse not realizing that this is a time of recycling, a time of learning and a time of recovering ones place in the Stages of Change.

Recommended Books on Addiction and CodependencySpecial NoteAddiction recovery coaching is not meant to take the place of professional guidance in dealing with addicted related problems. Anyone who thinks he or she has a problem with addiction is advised to seek counsel from a psychiatrist, licensed mental health professional, and/or qualified treatment professional. Anyone with psychological distress, such as serious depression or high stress, should seek a psychologist or psychiatrist. Because of the risk of serious alcohol withdrawal symptoms, anyone who has been drinking consistently should seek a physician or go to the hospital detoxification unit before giving up alcohol completely.
