Difference between Recovery Coaches & Clinical Staff
Recovery CoachUtilizes a lived experience of knowledge and anecdotal evidence to provide support to participants.Does involve in-person and phone contact frequently to offer support and assistance and to foster engagement in mutual support groups, recovery oriented programming and other mental health services
. They can and do drive clients to appointments etc.
Does organize structured leisure and recreational activities – based on participants preferences – in order to provide opportunities for
them
to practice social and coping skills.
Uses the approach of accountability rather than punishers.Capitalizes
on the client’s greatest defense; “You don’t understand. You’re not an addict.”

CCARConnecticut Community for Addiction Recovery 40 hour training provides participants a comprehensive overview of the purpose and task of a recovery coach and explains the various roles played by a recovery coach. It provides individuals with tools and resources useful in providing recovery support services and puts emphasis on the skills needed to link people in recovery to needed supports within the community that promote recovery.
Professional recovery coaches are trained in both coaching core competency and in addiction best practices such as stages of change, motivational interviewing, as well as harm reduction and more.Recovery Coach Models

40-hour, in-person, peer-services training of individuals in recovery with a direct lived experience of mental health and/or substance use disorders The
integrated peer support curriculum was funded through a SAMHSA grant in an effort to promote the widespread adoption of recovery-oriented supports, services and systems for people in recovery from mental health and/or substance use disorders. At the time of its development, few states had a curriculum that was designed to train individuals with both mental health and substance use disorders.Integrated Peer Supporterhttp://workforce.mha.ohio.gov/Workforce-Development/Job-Seekers/Peer-Supporter-TrainingSlide18
CCAR is addiction focused onlyCCAR model does not exclude those without a lived experience
Differences between the modelsSlide19
A Blended Approach
Recovery Coaching, [various models] and Clinical Staff Working TogetherSlide20
Why is it Necessary?
Treatment is needed to stop the cycle of addiction. Recovery Coaching helps
sustain abstinence
Treatment is short term and skill building. Recovery Coaching is reinforcing skills learned in treatment
Treatment is where you develop recovery and relapse avoidance plans. Recovery Coaching is walking out those plans
Treatment uses Evidence-Based Curriculum. Recovery Coaching is sharing lived experiences while walking alongside clientsSlide21
Recovery Coaches/Peer Supporters
themselves are only a
“few” steps ahead
of
the
clients they are working with
Direction vs. InterventionsRecovery Tool Chest
(Many Pathways to Recovery)Slide22
Why is the Blended Approach
Successful at OHI? Clear and specific job descriptions
Caseworkers, Counselors, Recovery
Coaches and Probation all work as a team
with clear understanding of roles
Treatment Counselors and Recovery Coaches value each other’s specific roleSlide23
In the current model of Peer Support training Manual Appendice, Steve Harrington writes:“Organizations typically fear adoption of a recovery culture because it means a true paradigm shift, which means change.”
OHI adopted and embraced these changes.Organizational Culture Change Can Help Organizations ThriveSlide24
