This review aimed to systematize empirical research from 2010 to present on the thematic analysis of recovery coach in addiction recovery. Specifically, this study explored two major themes: (1) the effectiveness of the recovery coach and (2) the role of peer support. To achieve these goals, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, and a simple thematic analysis approach was utilized that was discussed by previous research on similar topics on Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar throughout August 2024 to observe current evidence. A SLR of 20 relevant studies thoroughly proved that those themes are updated in recovery coaching. Some themes and future directions are also discussed.
