Christopher Wright Named

Director of Training at CCAR


Hartford, CT (2.5.25) - The Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) is pleased to announce the appointment of Christopher Wright as its new Director of Training. Chris brings over five years of experience in the recovery field, coupled with a background in Industrial Organizational Psychology, to this leadership role.


His dedication to recovery advocacy is deeply personal—having begun his own recovery journey a decade ago, Chris has since devoted his career to helping others find hope and healing. His work extends beyond the U.S., as he has also contributed to international recovery efforts, providing him with a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for the global recovery movement.


“For years, I searched for an organization that truly aligned with my values and vision—finding CCAR felt like coming home,” Chris shared. “Stepping into this role is both an honor and an exciting opportunity to contribute to something I wholeheartedly believe in.”


As Director of Training, Chris will build on the strong foundation established by his predecessor, Stacy Charpentier, who significantly expanded CCAR’s training programs and positioned them as a global leader in recovery coaching education. He is eager to continue evolving and expanding CCAR’s training initiatives, with a focus on accessibility and impact.


“Strong, well-supported recovery communities change lives,” Chris said. “By equipping people with the knowledge and tools they need, we can strengthen advocacy efforts and make an even greater difference in the recovery movement.”


CCAR’s Training Department has set the standard for recovery coaching worldwide, and under Chris’s leadership, it is poised for even greater growth and innovation. His vision aligns seamlessly with CCAR’s mission to provide support, education, and resources for individuals in recovery and the professionals who serve them.
