Who Are We

(720) 335-7875

It is our goal to build a trusting relationship with everyone we work with by meeting people where they are on their recovery journey and creating a safe space for them to be transparent, grow and reach their goals. 

Why Peer Coaching?

Recovery Coaches bring multiple benefits to the recovery field. Most importantly Peer Recovery coaches are exactly that, a PEER. They have personally overcome their own addiction and built a successful life in recovery. They are NOT authority figures, sponsors, therapist, religious leaders, Officers, or Doctors. Each relationship and program is different as each person comes with their own unique needs and circumstances.

Recovery is not meant to be faced alone
