Which role identifies potential problem areas, assists recoveree with problem solving, does not tell the recoveree the right way but helps to discover options, and is non-judgmental?

• A. Friend and Companion
• B. Advocate
• C. Problem Solver
• D. Resource Broker

Answer: (C)

The core idea is guiding problem solving rather than giving direct prescriptions. This role helps the recoveree spot potential problem areas, walk through possible solutions, and explore options without imposing what the right choice is. The coach stays non-judgmental, focusing on empowering the recoveree to decide what fits best, rather than telling them what to do.

That’s why this role fits best: it centers on identifying barriers and brainstorming paths, helping the recoveree generate and evaluate options, while keeping a supportive, non-judgmental stance. It’s different from being a Friend and Companion (emphasizes companionship and emotional support), an Advocate (focuses on rights and protections), or a Resource Broker (connects to external resources).
