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. This month I will post 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 that offer addictions recovery coach training, including organizations from Massachusetts to New Jersey. The complete list will take five weeks to publish, each week featuring at least ten listings. The fifth list will feature all of the Certification Organizations that issue recovery coaching, peer recovery specialist, or peer mentor credentials or certification in your state. (Check out the IC&RC website if you can’t wait for that info: internationalcredentialing.org). The sixth list will feature all of the facilities that train recovery coaches online and internationally. A complete list will be published in my newsletter, and is available immediately. To receive a newsletter, just subscribe to my blog (see top-right of sidebar).
