The Difference Between Addiction Counseling and Maintenance Coaching
Addiction counseling focuses on helping the patient maintain sobriety during the early stages of recovery. Our counseling sessions can occur several times a week, once a month, or as needed, depending on the individual's needs. The main goal is to learn to avoid substance abuse on a daily basis.
Once the substance use disorder is in remission, the emphasis shifts to maintaining a quality recovery lifestyle and improving overall emotional well-being. Our coaching will often address issues such as relationships, finances, employment, as well as living with purpose, passion, and peace through the art of struggle reduction.
