April 20-23, PAARI will host a 30-hour CCAR Recovery Coach Academy for Tucson Police Department and their partners. The Police Assisted Addiction & Recovery Initiative (PAARI) provides training and support to help reduce opioid overdoses and create non-arrest pathways to treatment and recovery.

PAARI currently partners with more than 620 police departments nationwide.

It is designed for law enforcement officers who work alongside recovery coaches, recovery coaches who work alongside law enforcement, any officer who would like to improve engagement and provide assistance for those seeking treatment and recovery, and anyone else looking to enter the recovery coach field. Upon completion of this training, participants will better understand addiction, treatment, and recovery, which will improve their ability to help those seeking evidence-based treatment and recovery from an addiction to opioids and other drugs.

In response, SAMHSA awarded a two-year grant to the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) with a large coalition to create the Opioid Response Network (ORN) to enhance prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts underway throughout the United States and territories. PAARI is one of 40 national professional organizations that make up the ORN coalition, providing training, technical assistance, and educational resources across the country, tailored to address locally identified needs. Funding for this training was made possible (in part) by grant no. 6H79TI080816 from SAMHSA.
