"The Better Alternative..."
Recovery coaching, a strengths-based approach, aids in breaking barriers to achieve your goals and desires. Our coaches grasp addiction’s intricacies, offering client-led strategies in a confidential, judgment-free space, enabling a transition from addiction to a robust recovery foundation.
A systemic wellness recovery coach generally works within a systemic or holistic framework to assist individuals in their recovery journey. They support clients not only in addressing their addiction or mental health issues but also in considering the broader context of their life, relationships, environment, and overall well-being.
These coaches often focus on creating a comprehensive plan that accounts for various interconnected factors impacting the individual’s recovery process.
Questions & Answers
Individuals, couples, families and communities suffering from addiction and other life challenges. Be mindful that Recovery Coaching is an adjunct service to medical, self-help and psyhco-social services and not a replacement thereof.
A Recovery Coach, using the Systemic Coaching Model, helps individuals build Recovery Capital—the resources needed to start and sustain recovery from addiction. Recovery Capital includes:
- Personal Capital: Internal strengths like motivation, self-esteem, and coping skills.
- Social Capital: Support from family, friends, and recovery communities.
- Community Capital: Access to services like healthcare, employment, and recovery support.
- Cultural Capital: How cultural values and norms shape the recovery process.
- Physical Capital: Tangible assets like stable housing, nutrition, and physical health.
By enhancing these areas, individuals create a solid foundation for lasting recovery. A Recovery Coach partners with you, meeting you where you are and guiding you to long-term success.
- Compared to private rehabilitation centres and Outpatient programs recovery coaching is by far the most affordable option
- In cases where home detox is a favorable option with Recovery Coaching interventions, the cost per client is dramatically decreased.
- With home detox, executives and management may continue to provide oversight without complete loss of working hours
Every client and coaching session will not be disclosed unless you have given written permission to share your success with direct family members. Disclosure is solely the client’s prerogative. Coaches will not disclose any information to any third parties unless emailed by yourself.
Recovery Coaches can be contracted for assistance with many life challenges. In the addiction scenario, you should seriously consider contracting with a recovery coach during the misuse and abuse stages. Also, pre-rehab and post rehab to improve the potential to achieve long term recovery.

Recovery Coach Training Path
Certified Professional Recovery Coaches are intensively trained by U-ACT to high international standards. U-ACT is a COMENSA Training Provider and the training is accredited by the International Coaching Register (ISO9001:2015). For the initial training, Coaches have to complete 100+ hours of rigorous training followed by 5 case studies from 60 hours of practical coaching. On completion, coaches need to pass an exam and two coaching assessments in front of a panel of Master Coaches to achieve accredited certification. Thereafter, the training continues as the coaches engage with clients, with regular supervision meetings that need to be attended.
