Recovery Works
Sober Jo's Community Center
Every year, over 15, 000 people in Colorado leave substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. We're on a mission to support their continued recovery. Embark PCA celebrates substance use disorder recovery in Colorado through trainings, advocacy, and innovative leadership programs and individual and group recovery support activities.
Colorado - like other states across the country—has gotten creative in its response to the toll that addiction is taking on our families and communities. Recovery coaching, offered at Peer Recovery Support Centers like ours, and in some emergency rooms, is one creative strategy that is helping many people stay on the recovery path. Recovery coaching is a unique role, best described by someone who does the work every day.

Embark PCA is a Behavioral Health Entity (BHE) licensed by the state, contracted with Medicaid, and provides counseling and recovery suppport specialists (RSS) throughout the state. We have been training recovery coaches since 2015 and are in alignment with NAADAC and the Colorado Peer and Family Specialists Credential model, “people engage one another through lived experience, accepting all paths of recovery in order to build healthy relationships and empower peers to become productive members of society”.
​
“A Recovery Coach is different from a sponsor or health care provider because a Recovery Coach is a peer, an advocate, and an educator, as well as a motivating role model that encourages all paths to recovery. We try to make a lasting impression/connection and create enthusiasm for recovery. We offer hope and non-judgmental support.
