In the evolving landscape of addiction recovery, the role of medication could be often overlooked—leaving a crucial gap in the support many people need. As more recovery coaches encounter those exploring or utilizing medication as part of their recovery journey, there's a clear demand for deeper understanding and practical guidance.

This workshop is designed for recovery coaches who want to broaden their skill set and enhance their ability to meet recoverees where they are. Our Medication-Enhanced Recovery curriculum, also approved by the IUA-New York Certification Board, goes beyond support or assistance. It dives into the nuances of medications for SUD and its integration into a recovery framework. We empower coaches to have informed, compassionate conversations that respect each individual’s unique path to recovery. This training addresses the widespread need for recovery coaches to have medication knowledge required by employers.

Objectives:

• Differentiate beliefs and evidence, spotlight biases and foster open-minded conversations to reshape perceptions of medications for addiction recovery.
• Prioritize the recoveree over their addiction, ensuring a person-first approach to contribute to a more empathetic and medication-supportive environment.
• Provide recoverees with knowledge about medications, and their benefits and cautions to dispel myths and support informed decision-making.
• Articulate phases like Induction, Maintenance, and Tapering, serving as mentors to break down barriers and make medications for SUD relatable and accessible.
• Challenge the short-term basis of Addiction Treatment, emphasizing the need for a prolonged and comprehensive approach through Medication-Enhanced Recovery.
• Commit to the 90-Day Rule® as a steadfast approach to providing optimal support, and a clear framework for tracking progress and empowering individuals in their Medication-Enhanced Recovery.
• Present a practical Medication-Enhanced Recovery Plan and Safety Plan so individuals can articulate goals, navigate challenges, and envision a clear path to lasting positive change.

Cost: We have a blowout rate of $100 in exchange for two days of service, and a discounted rate of $200 without volunteerism until 9/28. The standard price is $300.
