100%
Real Experience
More Than a Job. A Calling.
You didn't survive what you survived just to keep it to yourself.
Lived Experience, Professional Standards
Your recovery experience is an asset. DAMD pairs it with preparation, boundaries, and program alignment so it lands well in a treatment setting.
Steady Placements
We connect you with facilities that need real coaches. Temporary or permanent, you choose the fit.
Community of Leaders
Join a network of group facilitators who combine lived experience with professional structure and evidence-informed practice.
Grow Your Career
Build a meaningful career helping others. Facilities need real coaches, not paper credentials.
Ongoing Support
You're never alone. A team that has your back and stands behind every placement.
Make Real Impact
Change lives. Not with platitudes—with truth, accountability, and genuine connection.

A recognized recovery-coach or peer-support cert (CADC, RADT, CCAR, NCPRSS, or state Peer Support Specialist)
Strong Boundaries
Professional, ethical, and grounded—able to hold space without losing yourself
Reliability
Show up when you say you will. Consistency matters.
Professionalism
Represent yourself and DAMD well inside partner facilities
LA Metro Location
