What is a Recovery Coach?
A Recovery Coach promotes recovery and removes barriers and obstacles to recovery, serving as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking or already in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and or other drugs.
​
What is CCAR?
IHNO is an authorized facilitator of the nationally recognized Recovery Coach Academy, the leading training program for Recovery Coaches worldwide, The Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) The program focuses on the Art and Science of Recovery Coaching and is based on the fundamentals of coaching excellence.
Come learn what it takes to serve others as a Recovery Coach by attending one of our programs, which are now offered online. All are welcome.
​
As an authorized facilitator, we model what it is we want to see in recovery coaches - the ability to treat people as resources by actively listening and asking good questions, all while discovering and managing their own stuff. It may sound simple, but being able to achieve this goal takes considerable skill. We like to think of it as the Art and Science of Recovery Coaching. Our trainings cover both. Not only do you walk away with the skills, but our programs provide an opportunity to practice and develop your own art!
This 30-hour course is your first step towards becoming a NYS Certified Addiction Recovery Coach (CARC) or Certified Peer Recovery Advocate (CRPA). This training is one of the best trainings for anyone interested in becoming a Recovery Coach or Peer Advocate because it provides the knowledge and skills necessary to guide and mentor others through their recovery journey.
​
It can also help someone heal from the devastating effects of addiction (Family, Friends, Community, etc.) and help deepen their understanding and support of those affected by Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Studies have shown that people do not recover in treatment, but that they recover in their communities. This training can be a community tool for helping recoveree’s start / maintain a successful recovery.
