Recovery Coaching
NMSAS Peer Recovery Support Services
We recruit & train Peer Recovery Coaches and provide free volunteer peer recovery coaching to anyone who wants help overcoming barriers to any recovery lifestyle.
Who are we?
We started asking people in recovery what they needed and formed an evolving mission to support recovery efforts of individuals in recovery as they define it.
What is a Recovery Coach?
Peer Recovery Coaches walk side by side with individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders. They help people to create their own recovery plans and develop their own recovery pathways. Coaches undergo a background check, receive 46 hours of training, have various lived experience, receive ongoing educational opportunities, and are volunteers. Recovery Coaches are truth-tellers, advocates, resource brokers and much more.
