 | Need a Recovery Coach? |
 |
With this April's class, more
than 70 people have now been trained and certified by COA with the CCAR
Recovery Coach curriculum. Recovery Coaches serve
as personal guides and mentors to people seeking or already in long
term recovery. They remove barriers & obstacles to recovery by
connecting recoverees with resources, developing personalized wellness
plans, monitoring progress and providing lots of encouragement. Coaches
act as a compliment to counseling, 12-Step programs, spiritual pursuits,
community activities and other recovery support systems.

| Thank You To COA's Newest Sponsors! |
|
As
a non-profit organization, COA's mission is to be of service. We
understand that addiction is a mental, physical and emotional disease
that can leave lasting financial scars upon those it affects. Because of
this, we never charge the families and individuals we work with, but rely upon donations and sponsors to meet our expenses.
With more and more calls for help, those expenses are rising. |  |
But so is the assistance we are receiving from the Recovery Community.
We
are hugely grateful to our website advertisers, without whom we would
not be able to continue to provide services in the way that we do. These
advertisers represent many different types of facilities with a variety
of programs, but all have one thing in common: they are committed to
excellent care and support Recovery thru their partnership with COA as
well as other community activities. |  |
|
Please check out their websites and/or their appearances on COA Recovery Radio!
Addiction Treatment Services International (ATSI) is a new facility in Galloway, New Jersey.
The Recovery Place is located in Florida -
|  |
Footprints to Recovery
is a new treatment center in Hamilton, New Jersey that offers some
innovative programs such as career training thru a local business
school, relapse prevention and 90-day covered stays.
Compass Health is an outpatient facility in Princeton Junction.
Genesis House is an inpatient rehab in Florida with a 20-year track record. To learn more about them, click here. |  |
COA
has relationships with many different treatment facilities - inpatient
& outpatient, secular & faith-based, local and out-of-state. In
fact, the facilities mentioned here represent only our newest sponsors!
We can therefore refer people to the right facility for them, based on
their individual needs. City of Angels NJ, Inc. remains an all-volunteer
organization; while some of our volunteers are employed in the recovery
field, none receive compensation for their work at COA. Furthermore,
COA never receives fees from treatment facilities in return for
referrals.

| Golf Tourney at Ancient Order of Hibernians |
|
The Ancient Order of Hibernians has recently selected COA to receive proceeds from their Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, August 4 at Yardley Country Club in Yardley, PA. This will be a wonderful opportunity
for all of COA's golfing friends to help COA while they get in a round
of golf. There is also a "luncheon only" participation, which is
available for our COA non-golfer friends.

| Saturday, June 21: COA Open House |
|
This year, it's all about adjuncts: what are these tools, how do they work and how can (or should?) they be used? Come find out.
Come to the Dwier Center for a full
afternoon of speakers talking about Narcan, Ibogaine and other
medications, the Overdose Prevention Act and more. We'll also be showing
THREE recovery films throughout the afternoon and serving light refreshments. COA Recovery Radio (www.coaradio.com) will be broadcasting live and many different groups & treatment centers will offer resources in our outdoor vendor park.

We
think Recovery should be available to everyone. It shouldn't only be
for those with the best insurance. So we will work with anyone who
reaches out to us, regardless of their treatment history, insurance
status or other details. You can learn more about COA scholarships in the video below.
Our Recovery Walk on September 14, 2014 in Mercer County Park will support continued scholarships for recovery.
 |
| This is what a COA scholarship can do |
This
will be an uplifting event with live music, vendors, food, testimonials
from recoverees, live broadcast on COA Recovery Radio (www.coaradio.com) and much, much more!
