SalaryThe Opioid Epidemic is a public health crisis with a highly effective but underutilized clinical intervention - millions of Americans are physically dependent on Opioids but only 10% of those likely to have OUD actually access treatment.

The Recovery Coach also facilitates support groups and provides care coordination services. This role is crucial in delivering holistic care services by providing support across multiple systems and frameworks of care. The Recovery Coach motivates and advocates for our clients and is a key collaborator with our medical and behavioral health clinicians.
