Recovery Coach Professional (RCP)-Designation

Overview of the Process Expand

The Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) Designation requires sixty hours (60) of training, consisting of two required CCAR classes:  The CCAR Recovery Coach Academy (30 hours) and the CCAR Ethical Considerations for Recovery Coaches (16 hours).  You may acquire the additional 14 credit hours by attending Recovery-focused training(s) including:

  • Attending another CCAR training
  • Purchasing a webinar membership
  • Attending another pre-approved training

CCAR will award the RCP© Designation to successful candidates that demonstrate the art and science of coaching recovery through the following:

Training Requirements: Applicants must complete the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy© and the CCAR Ethical Considerations for Recovery Coaches©. In addition, 14 hours of CCAR or CCAR-approved training programs for a total of 60 training hours.

Experience: In the application, the candidates will describe their addiction recovery experience through a resume and/or a written summary.

Interview: Candidates will have an interview with a panel comprised of CCAR leadership and RCPs. May be in person or online. Read more about the CCAR RCP Interview Process 2021

Who is eligible for the RCP Designation? Expand

The RCP©Designation is available to ALL - people in recovery, families, friends, allies ANYONE!

Just like each of our CCAR Training programs. There is no prerequisite or length of time in recovery required.

How long is the initial RCP Designation good for? Expand

The Initial Designation is good for two years.  CCAR will provide the steps necessary for renewal which can be accomplished in a variety of ways.

Renewal of the designation is good for one (1) or (2) year(s). 

The Redesignation fee is $49/year.

Read more about the Renewal process.

How do I Renew my RCP Designation? Expand

You may choose to renew your RCP Designation for one (1) or two (2) year(s) at a time, for a fee of $49 per year.

You may choose from one of the following ways to demonstrate your dedication to improving your own art and science of recovery coaching for each calendar year:

  • Currently serve as a recovery coach (paid or volunteer)
  • Develop and deliver a webinar for Recovery Coaches to be used as part of the CCAR Training monthly webinar series (1 webinar per year)
  • Attend at least 10 hours of training/professional development (per year)
  • Serve on 10 RCP panels (per year) as a peer reviewer
  • IARCP Members may develop a curriculum that addresses the three-legged stool.

CCAR, the global leader in training the Art and Science of Recovery Coaching has established a Recovery Coach Professional (RCP)© designation to elevate the standard for recovery coaches worldwide. Our goal is to have the RCP© Designation recognized, trusted, and valued in the field. Over the years, we have found that recovery coach certifications focus mainly on the science.  To earn most certifications and/or credentials associated with recovery coaching, candidates must accumulate a certain number of training hours, accrue a specified amount of supervised time serving in the role and pass a written test.  In addition, many certifications require someone to be abstinent from a personal addiction for a specific period of time.  This is in direct conflict with the spirit of the role of a recovery coach, as well as honoring multiple pathways of recovery.

We believe that vetting coaches is important as we embark into professional arenas, however, the act of being vetted shouldn't create even more barriers for a population that is continuously struggling to eliminate barriers.

CCAR invites you to join a growing group of Recovery Coach Professionals© across the country.
