Addiction Recovery Peer Coaching
Addiction recovery peer coaching involves trained individuals with lived experience in overcoming addiction, guiding others on their recovery paths. Peer coaches provide practical support, such as goal-setting, resource navigation, and accountability, while offering emotional encouragement rooted in empathy. Unlike clinical professionals, peer coaches focus on building trust and sharing insights from their journeys, making them relatable and inspiring to those they assist. This approach bridges gaps in traditional treatment by emphasizing real-world applications and continuous support. Peer coaching has been shown to increase treatment adherence, improve coping skills, and foster a sense of community, significantly enhancing long-term recovery outcomes.
