MENTORSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY COACHES

 

How Life Coaches Help

A life coach is someone who partners with you to ease the burden of addiction and help you get your life back. The end result is positive support and change. Through the advice you receive, you will better understand what you need to heal.

You can expect your life coach to ask you a series of questions to help you reach your recovery goals. The coach will offer helpful suggestions and give advice to aid in your recovery. Your coach will help you with the following:

1. Developing and implementing a plan of action for recovery
2. Providing stability for you during your recovery effort
3. Encouraging your success by removing obstacles to treatment and recovery
4. Offering mentorship and guidance during and after residential treatment
5. Providing you with educational materials for detox and treatment, as well as finding online or community support groups

One of the most unique aspects of the life coach is that many coaches have been down the same road as you. They have experienced addiction and recovery. For this reason, they often have first-hand knowledge of the road to recovery.

It’s possible they may share their own personal story with you regarding their recovery. Such shared experiences can encourage and uplift you. The connection you have with your life coach will help you set goals that lead to your recovery.

• Encouraging your recovery effort by being a good role model and praising you for positive behaviors​
• Giving you advice on how to accomplish daily tasks​
• Becoming your champion, both inside and outside of treatment​
• Assisting you with gaining access to professional services, such as attorneys, psychologists, and other local resources​
• Providing you with educational materials for detox and treatment, as well as finding online or community support groups
