Recovery Coaching in the Emergency Department

Emergency Departments in Canada are ground zero for many of this country’s overdose patients.

Recovery Coaches can make a difference in this high-paced setting by connecting those that are present in the ED to pathways of recovery that can be sustained in the long term.

Recovery Coaching continues to gain momentum throughout the United States, and with good reason.  Recovery Coaches can, and do, connect people to long-term and sustained recovery.  Because of this, more and more, coaches are being utilized in a variety of settings, including doctors’ offices, police stations, drug courts, treatment centers, and most notably Emergency Departments. 

The need for skilled coaches who can easily adapt and work in a fast-paced ED setting is growing exponentially.  We bring to Canada one of the best-proven models of recovery coaching in the emergency department—the one from the Connecticut Community of Addiction Recovery.

This course prepares participants for the challenging and rewarding role of a Recovery Coach in the Emergency Department.
