Practical support for everyday follow-through
Executive Functioning and ADHD Coaching
Strengths-based coaching with David Voges, Certified Executive Functioning Coach, to build practical skills, everyday routines, and consistent follow-through.
How ADHD and Substance Use Connect
People with ADHD are at higher risk for substance use and addiction. Some of the reasons:
- Self-medicating: using substances to manage restlessness, anxiety, low mood, or trouble focusing
- Impulsivity: acting in the moment before thinking it through
- Emotional intensity: strong feelings that are hard to regulate
- Chaos and overwhelm: missed deadlines, money stress, and relationship strain that feed the cycle
For people navigating ADHD and recovery, practical routines and consistent support can help make everyday responsibilities more manageable.
Who This Coaching Is For
- Adults and young adults with diagnosed or suspected ADHD who are in recovery or trying to cut back
- People who have been through treatment and struggle to keep their momentum afterward
- People who feel stuck in a cycle of starting strong and then falling off track
- Families who want to understand and support a loved one with ADHD and substance use challenges

ADHD, Recovery, and Your Support Network
The ADHD & Recovery Coaching wheel illustrates ten areas that may be part of a broader support plan.
The ten areas are Assessment & Diagnosis; Peer & Recovery Support; Stress & Emotional Regulation; Structure & Daily Routines; Exercise & Nutrition; Family Support & Education; Relapse Prevention; Therapy & Counseling; Medication Management; and Psycho-education.
Coaching focuses on practical skills and accountability. It complements clinical care and does not replace assessment, diagnosis, therapy, or medication management from appropriately qualified healthcare professionals. The wheel represents possible areas of support, rather than services all provided by a coach.
