Since 2019
About Us
Reaction recovery was founded in 2019 as a way to provide effective professional services to people in active addiction or early recovery.
Our Founder
Born and raised in the Greater Philadelphia area, Jeff Simone embarked on a journey that would shape his life’s purpose. With a strong foundation in Psychology and Nutrition from his undergraduate training, he pursued a Doctoral Degree in Clinical Pharmacy with a specialization in Dietary Supplement Administration. Alongside his academic pursuits, Jeff faced a personal struggle with opioid and amphetamine addiction, a battle he confronted by seeking treatment in 2013. After several difficult years, he achieved sustained remission in 2016, and his life has since been defined by full abstinence.
Driven by his experiences, Jeff established Reaction Recovery in 2019 after obtaining national certifications in Life, Professional, and Recovery Coaching. As a compassionate coach, he works closely with individuals who aspire to find emotional and physical stability in their personal recovery journeys. Jeff’s coaching philosophy stems from a comprehensive biopsychosocial model, encompassing an in-depth understanding of biological mechanisms, psychological foundations, and contextual influences that encompass the social determinants of health. He holds certifications as a drug and alcohol abuse counselor and recovery specialist, bringing profound expertise on substances of misuse and their impact on thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and physical well-being. With over 200 clients and families coached to date, he remains dedicated to empowering others to achieve lasting recovery.
Drawing from his personal and professional background, Jeff firmly advocates for the importance of goal setting, continuous iteration, and ruthless accountability. Recognizing the healing power of food, he emphasizes its role in the recovery process. He understands the significance of addressing unaddressed traumas and cultivating an individual’s personal Recovery Capital. Jeff firmly believes that attaining long-term recovery requires more than mere abstinence—it necessitates attention to these other vital factors, enabling individuals to establish and maintain the emotional stability crucial for sustained well-being.
As your health consultant, SUD counselor, recovery coach, or trusted source of psychoeducation, Jeff provides a safe and inclusive space for you to openly discuss your health and recovery journey without fear of judgment. Together, we can navigate the path to recovery, supporting one another along the way.

why
reaction Recovery?
Our programs aim to empower people in their journey towards recovery from substance use disorders. We provide personalized and intensive one-on-one behavioral counseling to help individuals identify areas where they can make intentional lifestyle modifications. Our approach is meant to complement other forms of treatment, such as commercial treatment, psychotherapy, medical intervention, legal services, and mutual-help organizations, rather than replace them.
Our goal is to establish a transformative and ongoing relationship between the coach and client, enabling us to develop specific solutions to the unique barriers that each individual faces in their recovery journey. We utilize Dr. Simone’s ’12 Daily Pillars of Recovery’ as the basis for our approach. Through this framework, we help clients identify specific areas where they need to adjust and then develop a tailored strategy to achieve real change.
The 12 Pillars focus on a range of areas, including building a support community, establishing a healthy morning/evening routine, ensuring the body receives necessary nutrients for optimal functioning, expanding the mind through reading and learning, developing a realistic fitness routine, minimizing external distractions, considering barriers and triggers to long-term sobriety, and more. Our approach emphasizes the importance of attunement and relational balance to help clients function at their best.

What to expect?
As professional providers of recovery services, our role is to help you gain clarity about where you currently stand and where you want to be in your recovery journey. We take a holistic approach by examining both internal and external barriers that may hinder your progress and then create personalized strategies that work best for you. Additionally, we assist you in identifying and utilizing community support systems that can aid in removing any obstacles.

With consistent practice, new neural pathways are formed, making the recovery process easier and sustainable. Eventually, a meaningful and sustainable life begins to emerge.
