Peer Recovery Specialists in Emergency Departments:

Trained individuals in recovery who serve as mentors and guides. They share their personal experiences and offer empathy and understanding. Peer support specialists often work in collaboration with professional treatment teams.

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

Warm Handoffs:

Cultural Competency:

Ensure that peer support programs are culturally sensitive and inclusive.

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.
