Cornerstone’s Recovery Coaching Program

Maintaining sobriety requires dedication, motivation, and a quality support system, you can get all this through Cornerstone’s recovery coaching program. Many patients build their sober support network during the substance abuse treatment process at a residential or intensive outpatient program, and it is crucial to maintain that support system as they transition back into their outside lives. Recovery coaching provides patients with a unique opportunity to continue a professional level of supportive care, while being completely active in their day to day lives. 

Who is the Navigator Program for?

The recovery program is suitable for:

  • People in early recovery who want to give themselves the best opportunity to be successful in the course of treatment and after treatment.
  • Those who need safe and supportive counseling as they transition between different levels of care in treatment.
  • Individuals who have struggled with chronic relapse and need more support through their first year of recovery.
  • Those who have graduated from treatment at Cornerstone and need help navigating the ins and outs of learning how to live a productive life. 

Benefits of Recovery Coaching

Recovery coaches are specialists who have an addiction coaching certification that strive to help an individual in early recovery to positively change their lives. A recovery coach is similar to a counselor or therapist, but their role is designed specifically to help those seeking long-term recovery from addiction. Our coaches are able to:

What is A Recovery Coaching Program?

Cornerstone’s recovery coaching program, known as the Navigation Program, gives patients meaningful support as they navigate the beginnings of their recovery. This program is available to clients during all levels of care to continue their efforts after treatment.

Navigators help these individuals put the skills and habits they’ve developed in treatment to use in their daily lives. This includes things like grocery shopping, meal planning, budgeting, scheduling meetings, job interview skills, fun activities, and more. 

Clients participating in the Navigation Program can expect to see a consistent improvement in their lives, throughout the formative first year of sobriety, as they begin to set and pursue the short and long-term goals they want to achieve. 

We understand that no two situations are the same; therefore our Navigation Program is completely customized and tailored to the individual, taking into account their personal circumstances, goals, and life experiences to ensure that our recovery coaching program can help you or your loved one conquer their addiction problem.

Maria Tisci - Alumni Testimonial

Watch the testimonial from one of our treatment alumnus:

“Having support from people who have gone through things that you’ve gone through and understand you and not judge you, and you can tell that they actually want to help you. It was something I had never had before.”

Maria’s experience at Cornerstone Healing Center

Cornerstone's Recovery Coaching

Many people leave treatment with fears about going back to their day to day lives. We know every individual’s situation looks different, and we work to help ensure that you’re able to tackle everything from rebuilding to stress management.  Examples of life based goals include:

  • Getting a job or returning to work: Many individuals complete treatment knowing that the next step will include finding or returning to work, and whatever your circumstance, we are here to help.
  • Dealing with legal issues: Often those who have struggled with substance abuse find themselves with some form of legal obligations. While it can be overwhelming, we look to take these on one step at a time, and can support you in managing the path ahead.
  • Achieving financial stability: Most people have financial goals. By understanding and examining these goals we can create financial understanding and a budget that will help you to achieve monetary stability.

Relationships of all types are woven into daily life, and can have a major impact on an individual’s happiness and success. Whether personal or professional, our recovery coaches can help you learn healthy boundaries and rebuild relationships in your life. Examples of relationship goals include:

  • Rebuilding damaged relationships: Addiction can negatively impact many relationships in an individual’s life. We can help them learn how to begin rebuilding those relationships.
  • Learning healthy boundaries: Boundaries are necessary in every relationship of a person’s life. By learning to set healthy boundaries, you can eliminate stress, and have happier, healthier relationships with those around you.

Goals During Recovery Coaching

Recovery can be a new experience to individuals leaving treatment; we want to make sure that they are prepared to be immersed in a meaningful recovery coaching program that will help ensure long-term sobriety. Examples of recovery-based goals include:

  • Finding a sponsor: Sponsors are vital to those in early recovery who are wanting to work the 12-Steps and achieve long-term recovery from addiction.
  • Finding a homegroup: a homegroup is a recovery meeting an individual attends on a weekly basis, providing healthy new relationships and accountability.
  • Getting involved in service: Service work in recovery programs helps individuals to learn discipline – an important skill for those in early recovery
