We provide professional group facilitators and recovery coaches to treatment centers, rehab facilities, and sober living homes across the Los Angeles metro area.

We serve the entire Los Angeles metro area, including Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and downtown LA. Our facilitators are available for residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, sober living homes, and PHP/IOP facilities.

How do I become a DAMD Recovery coach?
Visit our Become a Coach page or contact us directly. We look for people with lived recovery experience (minimum 2 years), strong boundaries, and a genuine desire to help others. DAMD University provides comprehensive training for accepted applicants.
Do I need certifications to become a recovery coach?
Prior certifications are helpful but not required. DAMD University provides trauma-informed facilitation training, evidence-based methodology (CBT, MI, SMART), and hands-on mentorship. We train you to be effective, not just certified.
What qualifications do DAMD facilitators have?
All DAMD facilitators have lived recovery experience, professional training in trauma-informed care, and ongoing mentorship. Many have certifications in CBT, motivational interviewing, and peer support. Most importantly, they've walked the path themselves.
What makes DAMD different from other staffing services?
We don't sugarcoat. We don't enable. We bring lived experience combined with professional training. Our facilitators have been through the fire themselves—they speak truth, hold accountability, and bring real impact to your groups.
What methodologies do you use?
We use evidence-informed approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) practices, Motivational Interviewing, SMART Recovery concepts, and trauma-informed care. We combine proven techniques with real-world experience.
What types of facilities do you work with?
We partner with residential treatment centers, sober living homes, IOP programs, PHP programs, and outpatient clinics across Los Angeles. Contact us to discuss your facility's specific needs.
