Intervention

In the field of substance use, intervention refers to the process of identifying and addressing substance misuse or addiction to prevent further harm and encourage recovery. Interventions are proactive efforts to engage individuals at various stages of substance use, helping them recognize the negative impacts on their lives and motivating them to seek help. The approach can vary based on the severity of the substance use, the setting, and the individual's needs.

Promoting Recovery

Substance use interventions are crucial for interrupting the progression of substance-related problems, reducing health risks, and offering individuals support, guidance, and pathways toward recovery and healthier lifestyles.

Step Up Naugy supports recovery because recovery and prevention are deeply interconnected. By supporting recovery efforts, coalitions create a more comprehensive approach to addressing substance use issues in the community.

Even though we focus on primary prevention first, we cannot ignore those who are in the midst of substance use disorders or on the other side of them. Recovery is a long-term personal journey. Those sharing their recovery journeys with us are educating practitioners, promoting recovery for others, and preventing some from using substances in the first place.

Recovery Coaching

What is recovery coaching?

Recovery coaching is a form of support that helps individuals in recovery from substance use or other addictive behaviors to maintain their progress, set personal goals, and build a fulfilling, healthy life. Unlike clinical counseling or therapy, recovery coaching is non-clinical and focuses on guiding, mentoring, and empowering individuals in their journey toward long-term recovery.

Why is recovery coaching so effective?

Recovery coaching is highly successful in substance use treatment because it provides practical, personalized support that addresses the real-life challenges people face as they transition into a life of sobriety and wellness.

Many recovery coaches have lived experience with addiction and recovery, which makes them relatable and non-judgmental. This peer connection fosters trust, reduces stigma, and encourages individuals to open up, knowing their coach understands their struggles.
