Brian Condon is a person in long term recovery from substance use disorder with eight years of sustained abstinence. “Recovery is defined in the dictionary as “a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.” That’s great if you have a broken leg, but in recovery from substance use disorder, why go backward when you go forward? I personally define recovery as seizing the opportunity to grow as a person, reach towards your own goals, while becoming healthier and happier than ever before.” A recovery coach serves as someone with lived experience who truly listens, without judgment, or telling a person what to do. A coach asks questions to help the individual choose their own goals and pathway to recovery and provides support and helps celebrates success. Brian began as a volunteer with the Turning Point of Windham County peer recovery center in Brattleboro, VT before becoming employed as a recovery coach and group facilitator. He was also an instructor at the Vermont Recovery Coach Academy before being employed as the project manager on a SAMHSA funded Pathways to Recovery Project, collaborating with the then new Vermont hub-and-spoke model of care for opioid use disorder. Most recently Brian has worked during the past four years a clinician/counselor at one of the hub clinics in Brattleboro, VT.
