What is Recovery Coaching?

Recovery Coaching is a collaborative, strengths-based approach to changing your relationship to alcohol or drugs, getting healthy, and living a better life. 

Changing your relationship to alcohol or drugs is no small feat, and every person comes to recovery with a different idea of what they want to achieve.

When you hire us as your Recovery Coach professional, we work together to identify and design a personalized change-plan with your goals, your schedule, and a better life in mind.

You are the expert on your dream of a better future for yourself. Your Sober Coach is the expert on setting you up to live your dreams beyond recovery.
