What is an addiction recovery coach?

An Addiction Recovery Coach is a trained professional who provides support, guidance, and encouragement to individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Unlike therapists or counselors, recovery coaches focus on helping clients set and achieve goals, build coping strategies, and access resources to maintain sobriety. They often draw from personal experience or specialized training to motivate clients, connect them with community services, and assist them in navigating the challenges of early recovery. Recovery coaches play a non-clinical but critical role in supporting long-term recovery.
