Online Addiction Recovery Coaching
The concept of our Online Addiction Recovery Coaching is different than other online services. Our Online service is a private service that aims at putting back control and responsibility in the person’s life.
Since the pandemic, more “Online Counselling” exist. In most of these online counselling services, the counsellor listens and evaluates the person and their life situation. The addiction counsellor aims at drawing conclusions, and enlightening the person of their evaluation. Our Addiction Recovery Coaching sessions are different. Read on to find out more about our unique service.
Method Used in Our Recovery Coaching Program
With Addiction Recovery Coaching, the person is tutored and guided with simple information. The goal is to understand the barriers and obstacles to recovery.
The coach is there to help the person to apply the knowledge in everyday life. There are no evaluations from the coach. The addicted person comes to their own conclusion by reading and understanding the materials.
These are unique tools in one-of-a-kind life skills. With their understanding and application, one can achieve personal control over substance abuse. It is educational in structure and applies to any life situation.
How Does it Work?
The coaching program focuses on applying unique life skills and the results of their application. One goal is to make the individual aware of how the world around them affects them and how they affect the world.
The person learns methods to increase their survival potential and achieve control, by choice, over drugs or alcohol consumption. The sessions occur through secure video conferencing with an established schedule.

Is Recovery Coaching an Option?
Some people have very limited options. Here are a few examples:
- A corporate executive,
- someone with a high-profile job,
- A stay-at-home parent with young children.
They cannot necessarily leave their occupation for any length of time. Our Online Addiction Recovery Coaching program might suit their needs and situation.
It is an option that is gaining popularity. There are precise requirements for acceptance to this program. Our Drug and Alcohol Treatment Specialist, who coaches the service, determines who is suitable for this service. Usually, it would be for someone with a mild or light substance addiction problem.
Requirements for Recovery Coaching
This service is not for everyone; one must meet certain criteria and be serious about overcoming one’s addiction. The person will first undergo an assessment to determine the level of addiction. The coach then accepts the applicant for service or will suggest a treatment program in Canada if the applicant is not qualified.
It may require you to get a detox, medical detox, or even a residential treatment program before this service can start. For more detailed information, contact us through our form.
