Anyone can stay sober for 30-90 days, especially in an inpatient rehabilitation program. The key is what kind of foundation of emotional sobriety you build in your first two years of physical sobriety. The five elements of The Beverly Hills Method of total quality recovery are: 1. Physical, 2. Mental, 3. Emotional,
4. Spiritual, and 5. Sexual. Don't settle for anything less than Beverly Hills.

My number one priority as a coach is to help you identify your own patterns and reactions in order to accomplish the goals that you set for yourself.
The Beverly Hills Method of Recovery Coaching is to be a:
• bridge between your first day of recovery and long term quality recovery.
• motivator and cheerleader (exhibits bold faith in individual/family capacity for
change; encourages and celebrates achievement),
• ally and confidant (genuinely cares, listens, and can be trusted with confidences),
• truth-teller (provides a consistent source of honest feedback regarding self-destructive
patterns of thinking, feeling and acting),
• role model and mentor (offers his/her life as living proof of the transformative
power of recovery; provides stage-appropriate recovery education and advice),
• problem solver (identifies and helps resolve personal and environmental obstacles
to recovery),
• resource broker (links individuals/families to formal and indigenous sources of
sober housing, recovery-conducive employment, health and social services, and
recovery support), advocate (helps individuals and families navigate the service system assuring service access, service responsiveness and protection of rights),
• community organizer (helps develop and expand available recovery support
resources),
• lifestyle consultant (assists individuals/families to develop sobriety-based rituals
of daily living), and a friend (provides companionship).
My number one priority as a coach is to help you identify your own patterns and reactions in order to re-cognize your mind for higher consciousness.
Equally Important, the Recovery Coach is NOT a:
• AA sponsor (does not perform AA/NA service work on “paid time”),
• therapist, nurse/physician (does not make medical diagnoses or offer medical advice), or a priest/clergy. (Excerpted from White, 2004b).
The words most frequently used to describe what the RC does include the following:
identify, engage, encourage, motivate, share, express, enhance, orient, help, identify, link, consult, monitor, transport, praise, enlist, support, organize, and advocate. The fact that the RC fulfills all of these functions is a strength and vulnerability of the RC role.

New service roles sprout from the soil of unmet need. In the current worlds of
addiction treatment and addiction recovery, a new role is emerging to bridge the chasm between brief professional treatment in an institution setting and sustainable recovery
within each client’s natural environment. This role is embraced under numerous titles:
recovery coach, recovery manager, recovery mentor, recovery support specialist, recovery guide, personal recovery assistant, and helping healer. This role has been described in an earlier essay on peer-based recovery support services (White, 2004b)
