ABOUT RCA

COACHES
Recovery coaching is a service unlike treatment, counselling or 12-step sponsorship. Recovery coaches work with people at whatever point they find themselves, from active substance use, struggling to find the right treatment provider or, later, well into the journey of recovery.
The techniques used by recovery coaches are based on sound theoretical foundations and research evidence from other forms of coaching. In addition to traditional coaching skills, recovery coaches must know about addiction, treatment and recovery and how to work with diverse populations and people who follow a wide range of recovery pathways.
Recovery coaching does not replace treatment, counselling or the 12-Step sponsorship. Rather than counselling or treatment, recovery coaches focus on applying clients' strengths to choose their recovery solutions.
​
It is client-centered, although the coach may provide information on treatment and recovery options, it's up to the client to decide on their chosen recovery pathway.
