The Role Of The Recovery Coach
Peer recovery support focuses on long-term recovery and is rooted in a culture of hope, health, and wellness. The focus of long-term peer recovery support goes beyond the reduction or elimination of symptoms to encompass self-actualization, community and civic engagement, and overall wellness.
The unique relationship between the peer recovery coach and the individual in or seeking recovery is grounded in trust, and focused on providing the individual with tools, resources, and support to achieve long-term recovery (SAMHSA)
How will a Peer Recovery Coach help me?
-
Peer recovery coaches have lived experience with substance use and/or mental health issues and are empathetic to the challenges you have faced. Peer recovery coaches do not pass judgement. They listen actively and offer compassion and caring. Our coaches seek to build trust and a relationship that is based on mutuality and a shared desire to heal.

Navigating and acquiring basic living supports can be taxing and burdensome. Your peer recovery coach has established contacts and partnerships in the community and is aware of the availability of a variety of resources including: housing, transportation, food, vocation options, linkages to systems of care and the recovery community.

The first six months of sobriety can be the most difficult.
With so many emotional, mental and physical changes underway, connection and support are key to maintaining your recovery particularly within the first 6-months. The Recovery Life Collective offers peer mentorship packages that will provide you with the resources, coping-skills, wellness planning tools, community support and accountability that you’ll need to stay focused and engaged during this critical timeframe.
When you offer an array of recovery pathways the choice to begin the journey is much more palatable.
