Recovery coaching in New Brunswick
New Brunswick's provincial live-in recovery centre has fourteen beds, and takes men only. That's for a province of 870,000 people.
The Auditor General looked at 63,000 referrals to addiction and mental health services over two years. A third were closed without the person ever being treated — most of them simply stopped showing up while they waited.
If you reached out once and quietly gave up, that wasn't a personal failing. It happened to twenty thousand people.
I'm a certified recovery coach and a person in recovery. Not a doctor, counsellor or therapist. Coaching goes alongside treatment, never instead of it — and I can't get you a bed.
What I can do is be someone you talk to while you wait, and after. No referral, no waitlist, no triage.
