Description

As a recovering drug addict myself (7 years clean) I operate my own business called ‘Drug-Ed’ where I spea​k at schools all over the Australia as well as youth mentoring, family education around addiction as well as intervention’s and one-on-one private ‘Recovery Coaching’ with loved ones who are suffering from the disease of addiction and mental health issues.
My initial consultation/ intervention fee is first.
My ‘Recovery Coaching program includes:
  • One-on-one weekly mentoring. (2-5 sessions per week)
  • Daily check-in’s with your loved one.
  • 24/7 support for family members and loved one.
  • NA literature if needed.
  • Self-care / Gratitude, CBT.
  • 12 step education optional.
  • Financial budgeting.
  • Travel time.
  • Zoom weekly family education meetings.
  • *See attached ‘Recovery Coaching program’.
I look forward to helping your loved one as a ‘Recovery/Life-coach’ as a way to break out of their current cycle and show them a new way to live life on life’s terms. My number one goal is to empower them to become the best version of themselves they can be.

 

Building a strong rapport over the first month is my primary objective in order to gain trust and respect.

 

**The most important thing is that all of the family members understand the process that your loved one is embarking on in early recovery coaching/treatment and that they can be educated in supporting them on their journey.

RECOVERY COACHING PROGRAM (ON-GOING)

Drug-Ed aims to empower, motivate and educate individuals, families and communities, to gain a stronger awareness of the effects of drug and alcohol use. It also serves as a platform in which youth of today can learn from my experiences from addiction through to recovery.

 

WHAT DOES A RECOVERY COACH DO?

  • Support positive change, help people to avoid relapse, and connect with a recovery community.
  • Support people on all paths to recovery.
  • Help people work through and achieve life goals that were disrupted by addiction.
  • Empower people to explore their feelings, provide encouragement and celebrate success.
  • Guide people through the recovery coaching process by using an action based approach that revolves around improving someone’s present life.
  • To gently encourage greater self-knowledge of the individual and be an empathetic listener as well as building self-confidence.

 

 

A Recovery Coach Will:

  • Assist you in making plans in order to improve your life.
  • Focus on the present and the future without emphasising on the past.
  • Keep all conversations confidential.

Recovering coaching helps even if you have a sponsor or a counsellor by having personal experience in recovery.

 

RECOVERY COACHING PROGRAM INCLUDES:

  • One-on-one recovery coaching
  • 12 step meetings including working through the steps
  • 24 hour check-in’s (Open communication)
  • Drug & Alcohol education
  • Gratitude lists / Feeling wheel/Handouts / literature
  • Self-discovery (Self-esteem, Confidence)
  • Spiritual principles (Honesty, Trust, Integrity, Respect)
  • Gym/fitness and healthy eating plan
  • Social activities (Movies/Bowling/ Beach)
  • C.B.T. (Cognitive Behavior Therapy)
  • Stress management plan
  • Meditation / breathing techniques/ apps
  • Ongoing support / networking / Guidance
  • Family intervention/ Relapse prevention plan
  • UDS (Urine Drug testing) at the discretion of the coach.

 

 

FAMILY EDUCATION/AWARNESS ON THE CYCLE OF ADDICTION:

cycle of addiction

My goal is to educate and empower the family members to gain a greater insight into the cycle of addiction and their journey through to recovery. By giving them the tools to develop a more open and healthy relationship with their loved one, they are able to embark on a new beginning.
