Description:

The opportunity for those seeking recovery to craft a sustainable pathway that includes medication assistance can be enhanced with the support of a Recovery Coach. It is the goal of this training to offer peer professionals an opportunity to understand the history, concepts and varieties of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), as well as to explore their own perspective, biases and actions in support of recovery pathways that include a medication component.

  • Reinforce the core principles of peer support and the skills used by a Recovery Coach/CRPA.
  • Reinforce the specific "lane" of a Recovery Coach/CRPA.
  • Appreciate the individual nature of recovery.

  • Ensue the Recovery Coach/CRPA understands the availability of resources as they support MAT/MSR.
