The Center for Addiction Recovery Training (CART) established the Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) designation to elevate the standard for recovery coaches worldwide. RE/COACH & CART share the goal of having the RCP recognized as the most trusted and valued in the field.  CART determined that recovery coach certifications had relied exclusively on the science, certifying sole on the accumulation of training hours (CEUs); supervised time; coaching experience and standardized, written test. While ​CART believes science, we believed there was a better way to evaluate the skills necessary for effective recovery coaching.

 RCP Designation is awarded following the successful completion of:
​
  • ​60 hours of CART-approved training.
  • Review of Professional & Personal History.
    • Career and/or academic resume. 
    • Addiction recovery experience.
  • Live Interview. To determines if the candidate as the “art”, the final stage includes a rigorous, live interview with a panel of peers. Here, the panel is able to  evaluate, in real time, skills that represent the essence of recovery coaching, and what we define as the “art”.   Skills such as:
    • Asking good questions, 
    • Managing personal biases.
    • Treating people as resources. 
    • Active listening.

To earn the Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) designation, the applicant must complete the hours, review, and pass the live interview process. There is no written test.

RCP FAQ

Why the "Professional" title? The word "professional" will differentiate us from all the other credentials and certifications. As more entities (hospitals, providers, prisons) employ coaches, "Professional" signifies a level of competence and expertise. Plus, the recovery coaches we have interviewed appreciate the designation.
Currently, graduates of our training programs call themselves "CCAR-trained" recovery coaches. The RCP designation will clarify and elevate the standard.


The RCP designation is available to ALL - people in recovery, families, friends allies. Just like each of our CART training programs. There is no prerequisite or length of time in recovery required.
CART 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, 18 hours of CCAR or CART-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 of peers comprised of CART leadership and recovery coaches. May be in person or online.
