The Role
What Peer Recovery Coaches Do
Peer recovery coaches provide practical, ongoing support to individuals in recovery. Their role includes:
Encouragement & Accountability
Regular check-ins that keep you connected to your recovery goals.
Personalized Recovery Plans
Coaches help build a plan that fits your life, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Guidance from Experience
Because they've been through recovery, coaches understand the challenges firsthand.
Resource Connection
Coaches connect you with support communities and additional resources as needed.
"AJ and Matt relate to me. They are very personable and the breathalyzer is a life saver. Easy to use and it keeps me accountable."

Why It Works
The Value of Lived Experience
One of the defining characteristics of peer recovery coaching is lived experience. Coaches who have been through recovery themselves understand the challenges, emotions, and milestones of the journey.
This shared experience creates trust and connection that can be difficult to replicate in other support models.
Members often feel more comfortable sharing their struggles with someone who has faced similar challenges.
The Program
How You Are Accountable Uses Peer Coaching
You Are Accountable pairs each member with a certified peer recovery coach who provides weekly coaching sessions, accountability planning, and ongoing encouragement.
Coaching is delivered virtually, making it convenient and accessible for older adults and anyone who prefers remote support.
The combination of peer coaching and monitoring tools creates a comprehensive recovery support system — all covered by Medicare.
