Recovery Coaching and Professionalism

Now that recovery coaches are recognized as having a profound impact on recovery, many more organizations are looking to hire coaches. Coaches who can easily demonstrate professionalism may quickly assimilate into these new, exciting employment opportunities. CCAR Training is dedicated to building training programs to support this movement so that coaches can regularly refine their craft of actively listening, asking good questions, and managing their own stuff. We have high standards of excellence for our training programs and expectations of what we feel makes good recovery coaches. Typically, you’d find recovery coaches at your local recovery community centers, but, now we are seeing a greater need for skilled coaches in professional settings, such as to work in other hospitals, treatment facilities, police stations, and court systems.
