Recovery Coach Training Organizations (part 6)

Melissa Killeen

In 2013, I published a list of recovery coach training organizations in my book, Recovery Coaching — A Guide to Coaching People in Recovery from Addictions. That list totaled 21 locations worldwide. Last month I posted over one hundred and fifty organization names, addresses and web contacts for recovery coaching training! Wow, in just two short years this field has EXPLOADED!! As follows is a partial list of facilities in the U.S.and internationally that offer addictions recovery coach training. Next week I will include another list that will feature more of the facilities that train recovery coaches online and internationally. A complete list will be published in my newsletter, and on my MK Recovery Coaching website. To receive a newsletter, just subscribe to my blog (see top-right of sidebar).
