Recovery Loop keeps you connected to the people supporting your recovery — your coach, house manager, or organization's team — every day, not just during scheduled visits. DAILY CHECK-INS Log your mood, cravings, and how you're doing in seconds. Your coach or house manager sees it right away, so support can happen before a hard day becomes a setback. MEETING & LOCATION CHECK-INS Check in when you get to a meeting, appointment, or any place that matters to your recovery. Name it yourself, and check out when you leave. Your coach can see where and confirm you were there — you're always in control of when you check in. STAY IN THE LOOP Get notified the moment your coach responds, a form needs your attention, or your program shares an announcement — right on your phone, even when the app is closed. PRIVATE AND PROTECTED Unlock the app with Face ID or Touch ID so your recovery information stays private, even if someone else has your phone. FOR RECOVERY COACHES, SOBER LIVING HOUSES, AND ALUMNI PROGRAMS Recovery Loop is the mobile app for your organization's Recovery Loop portal. If you're a client, resident, or alumni member, ask your coach or program for an invite to get started. If you run a recovery coaching practice, sober living house, or treatment center alumni program, visit recoveryportal.net to set up your organization.
