You must be a life coach to become certified as a Recovery Coach through AASAT. Life coaching is different from counseling. It is a form of talking therapy that is used to empower others to turn their lives around. Our Recovery Coaches must complete an approved life coach training program before they can be fully certified as AASAT Recovery Coaches.
If you need training as a coach, we have partnered with The Addictions Academy to help you become a Recovery Coach. The Addictions Academy offers a 36-hour online Recovery Coaching Certification program that fulfills our requirements for becoming a Sexual Recovery Coach (SRC), Partners Recovery Coach (PRC), or Intimacy Anorexia Coach (IAC).
