Comments about Melissa Killeen’s Book – Recovery Coaching: A Guide to Coaching People in Recovery from Addictionse Recovery Coach

“I would highly recommend this book to would-be recovery coaches and experienced coaches alike, as well as addiction treatment and mental health professionals who will learn how to make use of a recovery coach as part of the clinical team.”

—Andrew Tatarsky, PhD., author, and
Director, Center for Optimal Living, NYC

“Melissa Killeen does what hasn’t been done before: a thorough explanation of recovery coaching. This will be an indispensable resource for both the coach just starting and the veteran. Well-researched, practical, and very readable.”

—Omar Manejwala, M.D.
Former Hazelden Medical Director and Author

“I’ve worked in the addiction and recovery field for decades, and this 3rd edition is one of the most practical and ethically grounded recovery coaching resources available.

Much of the content in this book took me years of formal education, specialized training, supervision, and real-world experience to learn. Having it clearly and responsibly presented in one place is invaluable. I recommend this book every time someone asks me about recovery coaching or companion work.

This guide makes an important point that needs to be said plainly: recovery coaching is not something learned through personal recovery alone. While lived experience has value, it does not replace education, skill development, ethical training, or accountability—especially when working with vulnerable clients.

The book strongly reinforces the idea that the goal of a recovery coach is client independence, not long-term dependence on the coach. Too many clients are kept reliant on coaches for years, whether intentionally or not. This book emphasizes empowerment, boundaries, and ethical practice. Coaches should never rely on a client’s long-term dependence for income.

If you are serious about doing this work responsibly—and not exploiting it—this book should be considered essential reading.”

— D. E., Recovery Coach in Detroit, MI
