Coaches help set and achieve goals, develop coping strategies, and navigate challenges in daily life.

Warm Handoffs:

Peer Support:

Cultural Competency:

Recognize and respect diverse backgrounds and perspectives within the recovery community.

Advocacy:

Raise awareness about the importance of recovery and reduce stigma associated with addiction.

Coordinated Care Planning:

Collaborate with peer recovery specialists during the care planning process, ensuring a holistic approach that addresses both medical and recovery needs.

Linkage to Community Resources:

Peer recovery specialists can help bridge the gap between hospital care and community-based resources, including outpatient treatment, mutual aid groups, and social services.

Peer Recovery in Maternity Wards:

Recognize the unique needs of pregnant individuals with substance use disorders and incorporate peer recovery support into maternity wards.

Establish a 24/7 helpline or support services staffed by peer recovery specialists to provide assistance and guidance during times of crisis.

Data Collection and Evaluation:

Use feedback from patients and staff to continuously improve and refine the peer support program.
