This episode of Road To Recovery, host James Sutton invites one of his mentors Phil Valentine, the Executive Director of Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) to discuss the different paths to recovery. CCAR trains Recovery Coaches, 80,000 worldwide. A Recovery Coach promotes recovery and removes barriers and obstacles to recovery. Recovery Coaches serve as a personal guide and mentor for people seeking or already in recovery from an addiction to alcohol and/or other drugs. People don’t necessarily need to be in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) to be in recovery. If someone says they are in recovery, then trust their process within reason.
