Success Stories - Core Values Recovery Coaches

See what's possible when recovery coaches get real training. Our graduates are building practices, helping families, and earning a living doing work that matters.

They Were Where You Are Now.

Every coach on this page started with the same question: Can I really do this?

Here’s what happened when they said yes.


Ready to Coach After the Weekend Immersion

Most programs make you wait months before you touch a real client. Our coaches start taking clients after the intensive weekend immersion in Weeks 5-8.

By then, you’ve already practiced with 50+ AI clients. You’ve worked through simulated cases with trainers. You’ve gotten written feedback on your coaching. You’re not guessing. You’re ready.


From Side Hustle to Six Figures

One of our graduates decided to go full-time with a recovery coaching business after completing the program.

Year one: $43,000 Year two: $98,000 Year three: $201,000

That’s not a story about luck. It’s a story about what happens when you have a real credential, real skills, professional tools, and a support community that shows up for you every single week.

This coach started exactly where you are right now.


What Makes the Difference

Our graduates consistently point to the same things:

  • The AI clients gave them hundreds of practice hours before their first real session. No other program offers this.

  • Simulated cases with trainers taught them to think on their feet, not memorize scripts they’d forget under pressure.

  • The ICF ACC based credential opens doors. Treatment centers hire coaches with ICF credentials. Families trust them.

  • Lifetime weekly support and office hours mean they’re never stuck on a tough case alone. Someone is always there.


The 75% Stat

Research shows that when people in recovery pair treatment with long-term coaching or case management, their first-year recovery rate reaches 75%. The national average without that support is approximately 40%.

That’s the gap recovery coaches fill. And it’s why this work matters.
