Coaches promote assertive advocacy, provide transportation, help participants build recovery capital, and engage in an overall recovery approach to assist participants to maintain sobriety and achieve long‑term recovery.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Conduct outreach in the community, at schools, and locations where individuals seeking recovery congregate.
• Provide transportation for participants to and from the program site and activities, to referrals, and as needed by the participant.
• Employ brief interventions in the context of a peer‑to‑peer relationship to engage participants and encourage retention in program services; this may include crisis intervention, relapse prevention, and individual or family consultations.
• Serve as the point of contact through the entire continuum of care from enrollment through treatment and aftercare, including providing information on available community resources, assistance in accessing services, coordination of services, and transportation.
• Introduce and link participants to recovery community organizations, peer‑run services, and other community organizations that will assist them in meeting recovery needs and building recovery capital.
• Maintain frequent contact, weekly or as determined by the dosage chart frequency, with participants/families through home visits, internet communication, telephone, or office visits to identify continuous needs associated with the participant’s recovery, monitor progression and/or regression, intervene on a timely basis, and encourage recovery activities.
• Facilitate peer‑to‑peer group sessions, as assigned, and in accordance with participant and programmatic needs.
• Establish and facilitate a Peer Leadership Advisory Council in which participants in recovery, their family members, and supportive allies are involved with program design, evaluation, and have opportunities to advise and/or make organizational decisions related to recovery orientation.
