​Recovery coaching

Recovery coaches act as personal guides and mentors for people who seek recovery or are working to maintain recovery. Working with both individuals and families, coaches help remove personal and environmental obstacles to recovery and identify supportive community connections. Coaching sessions can be daily, weekly, or monthly as determined by the recoveree’s needs, goals, and plan.  
All recovery coaches have personal experience with addiction, and have been described as allies, motivators, confidants, problem solvers, resource coordinators, advocates, and even cheerleaders.

Meet Our coaches

Tonya Brown
I am a Certified Community Health Worker, who has been with Archways since 2021. I began working with Archways as a volunteer, as I feel passionately about assisting those within my community by providing resources, and helping to navigate individual's journeys towards recovery. I am also a recovery coach, who is days away from becoming licensed as a Certified Recovery Support Worker! I have overcome my own experience of mental health concerns, and truly believe in the supportive nature of self-care and building a healthy social support network. I began my recovery journey in 2019. I have found a new purpose in life by helping those in the community. I live here in Franklin, and have raised two children on my own. I understand life’s daily struggles and am here to help you meet your goals and help you remove barriers to make your recovery successful, too. 

Hilary Stark
I am a Certified Recovery Support Worker and hold specific certifications to work with youth. I have worked with Archways since 2020. I started with Archways as an AmeriCorp volunteer then became an active Recovery Coach, as well as a Kinship Navigator, working to support individuals and families. I live in Laconia and have been part of the recovery community for a long time. My children's father has been affected by substance use disorder, as well as many of my friends and family members. I am passionate about helping others search for the meaning that their life holds, and work to support them in their journeys - whatever that may mean to them. My favorite quote is "Believe you can and you are halfway there." - T. Roosevelt.

Alisa Rief
Since 2016, I have been on my journey towards a substance free life. In 2017, I started working in this field as a housekeeper at Green Mountain Treatment Center in Effingham, New Hampshire. During this time working at the treatment center, I felt greatly inspired by the magic that I saw all around me between the employees and clients at the facility. Being able to watch and learn about sobriety and witness, firsthand, those in recovery was very important to me, especially because I could understand where they were coming from. At the end of 2017, I started a new path at Farnum Center in Franklin, New Hampshire, known as Webster Place/Ray House. Here, I became a Resident Instructor, and was able to help people in the way that everyone deserves. Sadly, Webster Place/Ray House closed their doors in November of 2021, and I knew I wanted to stay in the field, so I continued on to Sobriety Centers of New Hampshire working as an Admissions Coordinator. Starting in February of 2023, I have taken many classes towards my goal of obtaining my Certified Recovery Support Worker (CRSW). Obtaining my CRSW helps me to feel like my role in
this field will continue to grow and improve. Over the past several years, my sobriety has allowed me to establish growth and sustainability, as I was able to purchase a home in 2018, as well as a car, and I have tremendously improved my relationships with my family, more specifically my two daughters. Sobriety means a lot to me and staying in this field is important, as one of my main goals is to help those who may be struggling in the way I used to. There is always hope, and with hope comes growth.
