Wow, less than 5% recovery is a very small number. Yes, doubling that would be successful. I imagine you have to have a big heart to stomach the other 90% that aren’t able to get over their addiction.

I am seriously interested in becoming an addictions recovery coach, but don’t know where to begin the process. I have seen several classes online, but am unsure which are truly legit and which are just taking my money. Any suggestions on where/how to take my first step toward becoming an addictions coach? Thank you

Coaching is expensive as compared to what? Are you worth investing in for guaranteed results? Think of how you have spent money on things that have done you no good at all, and you do an intro session at only the cost of your time to see if the partnership can get you to where you want to go!
luv Keith

The only beef I have with coaching is that it’s so expensive!

Hi folks, I just got these comments today.

Coaching is a different approach to therapy. It begins with the assumption that the client has the answers for recovery within, but is not finding them. A good coaching session allows the client to speak and be heard, and directed by the coach to discovery through questions. I share or “consult” only when requested by the client.

Skype does offer a video component and works well. That being said, telephone is very effective and is used in combination with “written” homework assignments. Based on client results, I have found it to be effective.

Sorry to be so long in responding and I am pleased to see these comments. I am here to serve!

Regards,
Keith Bray MCLC

So if Keith is really intent on helping others, where is his response to all these valid questions. I was very interested in this until I started reading the comments and saw no response. Not very encouraging.
