Recovery Coaching Academy Application
Doc’s Recovery House operates an in-house Recovery Coaching Academy (RCA) that is available for residents in the Step Up Program at no cost.
What is the Recovery Coaching Academy?
Doc’s Recovery House offers a quarterly Recovery Coaching Academy for individuals interested in learning more about becoming a peer recovery specialist, or those who are allies of recovery and interested in the training. Doc’s Recovery House teaches the 46-hour CCAR curriculum, Recovery Coach Academy and Ethical Considerations, including 30 hours of recovery coach academy training and 16 hours of ethics required by the State of Minnesota.
What is a Peer Recovery Specialist?
A Peer Recovery Specialist (also called 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 distinguishes a coach from other peer positions is that we stay in the lane of providing support for people in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and or other drugs. (CCAR)
