Rumor Control:  I heard a rumor the LRC is telling people that our Recovery
Peer Volunteers are the equivalent of a Recovery Coach.  We are not.
Becoming a certified Recovery Coach requires over 50 hours of training,
additional testing, and 100s of hours of interning.  Certified RCs may or
may not have lived experience. In Idaho a certified Recovery Coach occupies
a paraprofessional position:  While they may choose to volunteer, certified
RCs are eligible for reimbursement of about $15/hr by the state.

Recovery Peer Volunteer is strictly a term used by the LRC.  Our Recovery
Peer Volunteers are required to have lived experience, take our 6 hour
Recovery Peer Volunteer Training, pass our Board of Review, and have at
least 6 hours of interning.  RP volunteers work under the guidance of our
trained Recovery Coaches.  RP volunteers are not eligible for pay.  Despite
this, our RP volunteers are strongly encouraged to attend the full Recovery
Coach training to enhance their skills.

Clearly, these are not equivalent positions.
