About
The Recovery Files Coaching is the companion app for substance use disorder (SUD) clinicians, treatment staff, supervisors, and clinical leaders who take their own professional and personal development as seriously as they take their patients'.
Built on a simple premise: helpers deserve the same rigor, structure, and compassion they offer the people in their care. This is the "Helpers Helping Helpers" framework — clinical excellence without burnout, supervision without shame, and professional growth made accessible.
WHO THIS APP IS FOR
- Addiction counselors (CADC, CSC-AD, LCADC, LADC, and equivalents)
- Clinical supervisors and team leads
- Therapists and social workers in SUD, dual-diagnosis, and first responder treatment settings
- Program directors, clinical directors, and treatment center leadership
- Recovery coaches and peer support specialists
- Clinicians working with first responders, veterans, and high-acuity populations
- Students, interns, and newly licensed clinicians building their clinical identity
WHAT'S INSIDE
Clinical Development Intensives
Structured, self-paced modules that blend clinical reading, honest self-assessment, guided worksheets, and a personal action plan. Topics include navigating toxic work environments, group leadership style, emotional constipation in clinicians, learning from patient relapse, building your own recovery support network as a helper, and more.
Supervision & Leadership Tools
- The 12-Month Supervision Timeline Board — a structured developmental roadmap for supervisees and supervisors
- The Clinical Team Goal Developer — assess team health, set specific goals, track progress with the same intentionality you bring to a treatment plan
- Peer coaching frameworks, pulse surveys, and anonymous team-health diagnostics
The Experiential Recovery Challenge
A structured program for clinicians to actually do recovery work themselves — inventory, amends, service, meetings, meditation, honesty — so that what you teach, you have lived. Clinical insight questions built into every day.
30-Day Challenges & Practice Programs
Prayer practice, meditation, honesty, control, meeting attendance, social connection, and more — designed for clinicians to deepen their own practice so they can teach with authority.
Topic & Tool Generators
Clinical topic generators for groups, trigger and fear exploration tools, Step One clinical generators, ISMs, powerlessness frameworks, ready to use with your patients or your team.
Workbooks & PDF Resources
Downloadable workbooks and companion materials for patients, families, and teams.
THE PHILOSOPHY
This app draws on Father Martin's accessible, non-shaming "Chalk Talk" tradition, Terence Gorski's relapse prevention model, William White's recovery-capital research, Motivational Interviewing, the Stages of Change, and polyvagal-informed clinical practice — delivered in plain language you can actually use on Monday morning.
WHO BUILT THIS
Founded by Sheamus Moran, CSC-AD, a published author on addiction recovery and clinical excellence. Every tool in this app has been built, tested, and refined in a real clinical setting — not a marketing department.
This is a companion app to The Recovery Files (therecoveryfiles.com), which serves people in recovery directly.
