Recovery Coaching
Recovery coaching is the heart of what we do. Your coach is more than a professional with a certification. They are someone who has faced addiction, overcome obstacles, and rebuilt their life. That lived experience means they understand your struggles on a level that textbooks cannot teach.
Together, you will build a personalized recovery plan based on your goals, your challenges, and your life. No cookie-cutter programs. No judgment. Just real support.
What Recovery Coaching Includes
Personalized Goal Setting
We start by understanding where you are and where you want to be. Your coach helps you set realistic, meaningful goals.
Crisis Support
Life throws curveballs. When challenges arise, your coach helps you work through them in real time.
Life Skills Development
From budgeting to communication, we help you build practical skills you need to thrive.
Resource Connection
Your coach connects you to housing, Medicaid, employment resources, and more.
Weekly Check-Ins
Consistent support keeps you on track. Your coach meets with you regularly to review progress and troubleshoot challenges.

Who Recovery Coaching Is For
Frequently Asked Questions
How is coaching different from therapy?
Recovery coaching focuses on practical skills, accountability, and day-to-day problem-solving. Therapy diagnoses and treats mental health conditions. Many people benefit from both.
Do I have to be sober to start?
No. Gold Standard Denver meets you where you are and helps you take the next practical step.
How often will I meet with my coach?
Most clients meet weekly, but frequency can be adjusted based on your needs, goals, and current level of support.
Is it covered by insurance?
Some services may be covered by Medicaid or private insurance. Contact Gold Standard Denver to discuss your options.
Can I choose my coach?
The team matches you based on your needs. If the fit is not right, they work with you to find a better match.

Resource Development
Recovery is not just about staying sober. It is about building a stable foundation. That means having the basics: identification, benefits, transportation, housing, and employment. Our team knows the systems, cuts through red tape, and walks you through every step.
It is hard to focus on recovery when you are worried about where your next meal is coming from. When your basic needs are met, you have the mental and emotional bandwidth to do the deeper work of recovery.
