What is Recovery Coaching?

Scope and Limits
of Recovery Coaching

Recovery coaches do just what other professional coaches do but we serve those who are in recovery or who are seeking recovery from addiction.

We cannot diagnose any addiction.

We don’t treat addiction per se.

We can help someone become ready and willing to seek treatment.

We can help someone explore their options for recovery or treatment.

We know we aren’t chemical dependency counselors. We know we aren’t nurses, doctors, counselors, therapists, or psychiatrists. We are coaches and what we do is coach. We help people explore their wants, needs, and choices. We help them get clarity and move into action.

We don't dictate what recovery will look like for our clients.

We don’t tell them what to do or how to do it.

We are coaches—that means we ask questions, we offer reflections, and we hold our clients whole, resourceful, and capable of choosing what is best for them at this time.
