Recovery Coaching

What Is Recovery Coaching?

Recovery Coaching is a strengths-based, client-driven form of support designed to help individuals build and sustain recovery from Substance Use Disorder. Unlike clinical therapy or treatment, recovery coaching is non-clinical and peer-oriented, focusing on practical support, motivation, and accountability across all areas of life.

At Recovery Coaching Services, our Recovery Coaches are trained professionals—all with lived experience—who walk alongside individuals in their recovery journey. They help clients set and achieve personal goals, navigate challenges, and build a life rooted in purpose, stability, and growth.

Key Features of Recovery Coaching:

  • Goal-Oriented Support
    Clients define their own recovery goals—whether it’s maintaining sobriety, securing stable housing, reconnecting with family, or returning to school—and coaches help create a path to get there.

  • Accountability & Encouragement
    Recovery Coaches provide structure and consistency, helping clients stay on track, troubleshoot setbacks, and celebrate progress.

  • Resource Navigation
    Coaches connect clients to vital community resources—treatment programs, support groups, employment services, healthcare providers, and more.

  • Holistic Focus
    Coaching goes beyond substance use and addresses all areas of life, including wellness, relationships, career, recreation, and spirituality.

  • Peer-Like Relationship
    Coaches serve as relatable guides—not authority figures—who offer hope, understanding, and practical wisdom based on training and often shared experience.

  • Flexible & Accessible
    Services can be provided in the office, in the home, or in the community, based on what’s most supportive and convenient for the client.


Recovery Coaching is not therapy or treatment—it’s a partnership built on trust, action, and transformation. Whether someone is new to recovery, returning after a relapse, or looking to build a stronger foundation, Recovery Coaching Services provides the tools and relationships to move forward with confidence and support.

Our Treatment Plans

Building Recovery Capital, One Domain at a Time

At Recovery Coaching Services, we understand that successful recovery extends beyond abstinence—it involves rebuilding every area of life. That’s why we create individualized treatment plans that support the development of recovery capital: the internal and external resources a person needs to initiate and sustain recovery.

Each plan is collaboratively developed with the individual (and their family when appropriate), and is tailored to reflect their unique goals, values, and circumstances. These plans are not static—they evolve as recovery progresses, offering flexibility and ongoing support.

Our treatment plans address multiple domains essential to long-term success:

1. Recovery

Core focus on substance use behaviors, relapse prevention, support systems, and recovery pathways (e.g., 12-step, SMART Recovery, harm reduction, etc.).

2. Health & Wellness

Physical and mental health goals, including access to medical and behavioral health services, nutrition, sleep hygiene, and stress management.

3. Housing & Transportation

Stable, safe living environments and access to reliable transportation—both critical for maintaining treatment, employment, and community connections.

4. Employment & Education

Support in finding meaningful work, completing educational goals, building vocational skills, and preparing for long-term career development.

5. Family Relationships & Social Life

Rebuilding trust, improving communication, and strengthening healthy relationships within family systems and broader social networks.

6. Recreation, Leisure & Hobbies

Encouraging healthy, substance-free activities that foster joy, creativity, and community engagement.

7. Spirituality

Support in exploring personal beliefs, purpose, and connection—whether through religious, spiritual, or secular lenses.

8. Life Skills

Development of practical skills for independent living, including time management, financial literacy, organization, and decision-making.

9. Other Areas of Focus

Any additional goals or barriers identified by the individual that are relevant to their recovery journey, such as legal issues, parenting, or grief support.

By addressing each of these domains, we help clients build a strong foundation for sustainable recovery—not just from substance use, but toward a full, meaningful life. Our role is to guide, support, and walk alongside every person as they move from surviving to thriving.
