Recovery Coaches: What do they do, where do they operate, and are they effective?
The past decade has seen the rapid and widespread adoption of peer recovery coaching across the continuum of substance use disorder (SUD) care. Though peer recovery coaches vary in their training and certifications, in essence, these are individuals who, because of their own lived experience with SUD and recovery, are qualified to support individuals with SUD and co-occurring mental disorders. Recovery coaches are notable for their emphasis on helping clients mobilize resources, and their unique ability to meet clients where they’re at – literally and figuratively. In this talk, David Eddie, PhD, ABAP will discuss what recovery coaches do and don’t do, the kinds of settings they’re being employed in, and what research is saying the effectiveness of this novel class of service
