• Recovery coaches are not therapists, Peer Recovery Mentors or Peer Support Specialist. They do not provide clinical help; rather, they help the person engage with treatment, and also help with various skills needed for recovery.
• Recovery coaches are professionals who should be paid for their work. The payer, whether Medicaid or commercial insurance, is likely to make all decisions about role definitions and requirements.
