Recovery Coaching
Learn what recovery coaching is, how it works, and how peer recovery coaches help individuals build recovery capital and achieve long-term recovery goals.
What Is Recovery Coaching?
​
Recovery coaching is a non-clinical service that helps individuals identify goals, overcome barriers, and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
​
Recovery coaches are not therapists, counselors, or sponsors. Instead, they serve as mentors, advocates, guides, and supporters who walk alongside individuals as they pursue recovery.
​
Recovery coaching focuses on:
• Goal Setting
• Accountability
• Resource Navigation
• Recovery Planning
• Employment and Education Goals
• Housing Stability
• Community Connection
• Building Recovery Capital
​
Recovery capital refers to the personal, social, physical, and community resources that support long-term recovery.
​
Research shows that connection and support are critical factors in recovery success. Recovery coaches help individuals build those connections while encouraging personal growth and self-determination.
​
At 217 Recovery, recovery coaching focuses on helping people build productive, meaningful, and enjoyable lives in recovery.
