Recovery Coaching: Tailoring Support for Addiction Recovery
I think one of the most important things is that if it doesn't have a deadline and if it's not anything that I can measure, it's not really a goal, it's an aspiration.
Imagine having a guide who helps you navigate the rocky path of addiction recovery without the clinical jargon or rigid structures. That's where recovery coaching comes in. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Chris DeTora, a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach, shares his insights on how recovery coaching can be a game-changer for those battling addiction and their families. Chris brings years of experience in treatment, recovery, and prevention, offering a fresh perspective on non-clinical support.
He explains how a recovery coach helps clients set specific, achievable goals and supports them through the transition to a new lifestyle. Unlike sponsors who guide through the 12 steps, recovery coaches focus on personalized plans that cater to individual needs. Chris also touches on his unique approach, integrating martial arts principles into recovery programs, adding an extra layer of support and discipline.
Whether you're looking for an alternative to traditional treatment methods or seeking additional support for a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights into the role of recovery coaching in addiction treatment.
