When the ability to work in the Connecticut Department of Corrections became an option, we eagerly
jumped at the chance. People who have faced jail time, incarceration, or any involvement within these
settings have multiple barriers to overcome, so why not provide recovery coaches who can assist in
navigating those barriers while providing support in their recovery journey? There is no better setting to
serve as a recovery coach. Many of our coaches know these systems well. The best resources for
navigating these systems are people who have used them. This is where our lived experiences will serve
us two-fold. Not only do we get to share what we know, we get to share who we are in recovery. Our
goal is to prepare you for working within any of these settings. This educational program is approved by
NAADAC #195293.

Emergency Departments now recognize that recovery coaches can make a difference in this high-paced setting by connecting those in the ED to pathways of recovery that can be sustained in the long term.

Coaches are being utilized in various settings, including doctors' offices, police stations, drug courts, treatment centers, and, most notably, Emergency Departments. The need for skilled coaches who can quickly adapt and work in a fast-paced ED setting is growing exponentially. As providers of the Connecticut Emergency Department Recovery Coaches program, we have learned much about the different training needs of those in this unique role.

This training is based on our flagship training, the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy©. This curriculum provides a basic, introductory version of recovery coaching to meet the needs of those who want a general understanding of the recovery process to understand better and support the recovery of their loved ones, friends, and colleagues.

We hope many of your questions about recovery and the recovery process will be answered.
