PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT

AND RECOVERY SERVICES

Mission

Supporting long-term recovery for people with substance use

and co-occurring mental health conditions by

partnering with communities to provide peer supported

recovery programs and services

What are Peer Recovery Support Services?

Peer-based recovery support is the process of giving and receiving nonprofessional, non-clinical assistance to achieve long-term recovery from severe alcohol and/or other drug-related problems. This support is provided by people who are experientially credentialed to assist others in initiating recovery, maintaining recovery, and enhancing the quality of personal and family life in long-term recovery. (William White. 2009)

Where are Peer Recovery Support Services Provided?

Peer recovery support services can be delivered across the full continuum of recovery, regardless of whether or not a person uses clinical treatment services. Before an individual enters treatment When an individual is on a wait-list for a service opening. Coincide with treatment services - providing a connection to

community while a person is in treatment. Following treatment

Peer recovery support services help people manage their own recovery by developing recovery skills, accessing resources to support ongoing recovery and giving them an opportunity to further enrich their recovery through volunteer work in recovery support settings.
