Addicts are not bad people trying to get good, they are sick.
Ever wondered what happens after someone completes an inpatient treatment program? This episode of 'I Took the High Road' with host Jacob Patrick Jansen features author Melissa Killeen, who sheds light on the often-overlooked aspect of recovery coaching. Melissa, an expert in the field, shares her insights from her book, 'Recovery Coaching', and explains how this non-clinical approach has become a crucial part of aftercare over the past decade.
Recovery coaching is not about diagnosing or treating addiction; it's about offering support, accountability, and motivation to those in recovery. Unlike traditional therapy, recovery coaches focus on helping individuals navigate the early stages of recovery and transition smoothly out of inpatient treatment. They employ techniques like motivational interviewing to assist clients in identifying their goals and overcoming obstacles. The episode also explores the history and evolution of recovery coaching, contrasting it with the Minnesota model of addiction treatment.
You'll learn about the different stages of change and how recovery coaches work with clients at each stage, from pre-contemplation to action. Family involvement is another key topic discussed, as addiction affects not just the individual but their loved ones too. Melissa emphasizes the importance of finding a qualified recovery coach who understands addiction and recovery deeply. She offers tips on what to look for in a good coach, including ethical training and core competencies.
If you're curious about new approaches to addiction support or looking for ways to help a loved one, this episode is packed with valuable information. Tune in to discover how recovery coaching can be a game-changer in the journey towards long-term sobriety.
