Recovery coaching
Recovery coaching services are non-clinical supports provided by Idaho-certified recovery coaches for members age 18 and older with a primary diagnosis of a substance use condition. Recovery coaches use their lived experience to support members navigating substance use challenges, overcoming barriers in their recovery journey, and building natural supports in the community. Providers must be 18 or older, have a high school diploma or equivalent, have personal lived experience in recovery, and hold a peer recovery coach or provisional peer recovery coach certification issued by the Idaho Board of Alcohol/Drug Counselor Certification.

For members ages 18–21, services must be approved through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) process. Family support partners use their lived experience to help caregivers navigate challenges, address barriers and strengthen natural supports for their family.
