Recovery Coaching

Real Support. Lasting Change.

When treatment ends, real life begins—and that’s where Lion Heart’s Recovery Coaching Program steps in. Founded on the powerful personal connection between Trevor McCarthy, Lion Heart’s co-founder, and Bill, his own recovery coach during the earliest days of sobriety, our program provides compassionate, practical support grounded in lived experience.

Recovery isn’t linear—it’s a messy, meaningful journey. Our coaching meets you exactly where you are, helping you build a life that feels worth staying sober for.

 

Personalized Peer Support Tailored to You

Lion Heart’s Recovery Coaching Program provides structured yet flexible support that complements clinical care:

  • Daily check-ins and 7-day-a-week support
  • Weekly in-person meetings outside clinical hours
  • Monthly family updates and sessions
  • Help accessing recovery resources, including 12-step and peer-support groups
  • Life skills coaching to balance work, school, and recovery
  • Seamless coordination with your Lion Heart clinical team

Our team, led by Bill, brings firsthand understanding of the challenges and triumphs of recovery. His experience guiding Trevor through the critical first steps of sobriety shapes every interaction, ensuring empathy, respect, and genuine connection.

The Proven Power of Peer Support

Studies show peer-supported recovery significantly improves outcomes:

  • 44% fewer hospitalizations
  • 9% fewer ER visits
