COACH had a wonderful time sponsoring the 2026 AARR Conference!

Held October 2-3 in beautiful Spanish Fort, Alabama, the conference provided an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals from across the state, share resources, learn from engaging presentations, and strengthen partnerships dedicated to making a positive impact in Alabama communities.

Thank you to the Alabama Association of Recovery Residences (AARR) for hosting such a fantastic event, and to everyone who stopped by the COACH booth. We enjoyed the opportunity to connect with you and look forward to continuing our shared work in education, prevention, treatment, and recovery support.
