This five-day, 30-hour training is an intense, immersive experience designed to equip individuals with the skills, knowledge, and mindset necessary to support people in recovery effectively. RCAC 30 is not a passive learning experience. It is emotionally and mentally demanding, calling individuals to be fully present throughout the week. The training encourages deep personal reflection, challenges assumptions, and fosters the type of honest, courageous conversations that define impactful Recovery Coaching.

Coaches will explore what it truly means to walk alongside someone in recovery, offering support without fixing, empowering without directing, and connecting without judgment. This course is as much about personal growth as it is about professional skill-building.
