Recovery CoachRecovery Coach
The range of services provided with the framework of recovery coaching is indicated by the broad range of roles being proposed within “recovery coach” pilot studies. The recovery coach is a:
motivator and cheerleader (exhibits bold faith in individual/family capacity for change; encourages and celebrates achievement)
ally and confidant (genuinely cares, listens, and can be trusted with confidences)
Recovery CoachRecovery Coach
truth-teller (provides a consistent source of honest feedback regarding self-destructive patterns of thinking, feeling and acting)
role model and mentor (offers his/her life as living proof of the transformative power of recovery; provides stage-appropriate recovery education and advice)
problem solver (identifies and helps resolve personal and environmental obstacles to recovery)
Recovery CoachRecovery Coach
resource broker (links individuals/families to formal and indigenous sources of sober housing, recovery-conducive employment, health and social services, and recovery support)
advocate (helps individuals and families navigate the service system assuring service access, service responsiveness and protection of rights)
community organizer (helps develop and expand available recovery support resources)
Recovery CoachRecovery Coach

a friend (provides companionship)

A recovery coach is NOT a:
sponsor (does not perform AA/NA service work on “paid time”)
therapist (does not diagnose, probe undisclosed trauma/“issues”; does not refer to their support activities as “counseling” or “therapy”)
Recovery CoachRecovery Coach
A recovery coach is NOT a:
nurse/physician (does not make medical diagnoses or offer medical advice), or a
priest/clergy (does not respond to questions of religious doctrine nor proselytize a particular religion/church)

Should these functions be integrated into an existing role or within a new service role?
“Why do people need a recovery coach if they have access to a Twelve Step sponsor?”
“We don’t need recovery coaches. These functions are already being performed by addiction counselors, outreach workers and case managers.”
Recovery CoachRecovery Coach
The recovery coach role incorporates and refines some dimensions of existing roles (e.g., outreach worker, case manager) and is positioned between two other recovery support roles: the recovery support group sponsor and the addiction counselor.
