As a certification body, we serve those individuals that receive services from a professional by ensuring that somebody practices within a specific code of ethics, by offering protection for that client and for their family, that when they come in and receive a service, they know what they can expect and they know that they're going to be protected because that person has showed through an application and work process that they are competent to perform the skills of the task.
Imagine having a trusted guide to help navigate the turbulent waters of addiction recovery. Ruth Riddick, a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach, brings this vision to life in her candid conversation with the Connecticut Certification Board. Recognized by Irish America magazine for her contributions to healthcare and life sciences, Ruth shares her deep insights into the vital role of credentialing in recovery coaching.

Ruth dives into the often-overlooked need for accountability in both agency and independent settings, stressing that credentialing isn't just a formality but a cornerstone of effective recovery support. She also tackles the pervasive stigma surrounding addiction, urging professionals to embrace a positive definition of recovery.
Her perspective sheds light on the challenges and opportunities within the field, making this episode a must-listen for anyone involved in or affected by addiction recovery. Ruth's discussion is not just informative but a call to action for higher standards and greater empathy in recovery coaching.
