A Recovery Coach is an individual in sustained recovery who assists others in recovery from substance use, mental health, and/or physical health issues by removing barriers and obstacles to recovery and serving as a personal guide and mentor. Recovery Coaches are making their place within our community. There are many different names for what a Coach does, but what distinguishes a Recovery Coach from other peer positions is that they stay in the lane of providing support for people in recovery from an addition to alcohol and/or other drugs.
