Our Intervention and Recovery Coaching Courses are designed for individuals who want to support others on the front lines of addiction recovery without following the traditional counseling licensure path.

These programs are ideal for those who are passionate about guiding, advocating, and coaching people through their recovery journeys—whether you're entering the field for the first time or expanding your professional skill set. If you're ready to help others make life-saving decisions, we’ll provide you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to lead.

What Is Recovery Coaching and Intervention?

Distinct yet Complementary Roles in Addiction Support

While certified counselors focus on clinical treatment, recovery coaches and interventionists fill critical, supportive roles that often bridge the gap between crisis and care.

  • A Recovery Coach offers ongoing, non-clinical support to individuals in early or long-term recovery. Coaches help clients set goals, stay accountable, and connect to resources while navigating the ups and downs of sobriety.
  • An interventionist is trained to facilitate structured, professional interventions for individuals struggling with addiction. These specialists guide families and friends through the difficult process of confronting a loved one and encouraging them to seek treatment.

Both roles are instrumental in preventing relapse, reducing harm, and promoting healing within families and communities.

Who Should Enroll in These Courses?

Our programs are tailored for:

  • Individuals with lived experience in recovery
  • Family members or loved ones of those affected by addiction
  • Peer support specialists looking to expand their qualifications
  • Professionals in social work, criminal justice, or behavioral health
  • Employers or treatment providers seeking to train staff in intervention or recovery coaching methods
