Professional Advocacy & Support
Perhaps your loved one does not require 24/7 companionship or intensive treatment. Another option in the early stage of recovery and healing is to enlist a recovery coach to help them adjust to a fulfilling and healthy life in recovery. Whether you or your loved one is recovering from a Substance Use Disorder, Trauma, Mental Health Issue, Eating Disorder or Process Addiction, one-on-one recovery coaches help create a completely individualized and collaborative recovery care plan that can be accomplished and communicated by telephone, electronically or on-site at the individual’s convenience.
Our experienced recovery coaches can help you or your loved one practice critical life skills, cope with difficult situations, and learn relapse prevention techniques and offer extra support when needed. They help identify and address potential challenges in early recovery and help your loved one set short and long-term recovery goals to support sustainable success in their community.
Heather R. Hayes & Associates’ recovery coaches provide mentoring and education, teach relationship building and solutions-orientated problem-solving techniques, and serve as the individual’s advocate and support team during recovery. Additionally, coaches can help identify recovery resources and other health and well-being promoting activities that will keep you or your loved one sober and healthy.
Recovery coaches are often enlisted in the early stages of an individual’s recovery and are meant for those who do not require intensive, live in care. Recovery coaches provide one-on-one support to help individuals adjust to a fulfilling, healthy lifestyle that lessens the likelihood of relapse. They teach new skills in accepting and managing a Mental Health Diagnosis and often provide support and accountability in challenging situations. The frequency of coaching sessions will vary depending on the needs of each client.
A recovery coach acts as a professional advocate and supporter of your loved one’s treatment, offers help when needed, and identifies specific warning signs and triggers for the client and their family to consider. If you or a loved one is in need of some extra support to bolster your recovery, contact us at 800-335-0316 or at info@heatherhayes.com to get set up with a recovery coach today.
We will work together with you to develop a plan of healing for you and your entire family system.
