* Meet with patients enrolled in the study, deliver the brief intervention to them, and provide them with resources on recovery support services
* Audio/video record intervention sessions with patients and save recording files to the study share drive
* Work with patients to identify a recovery support center that works for them, using a list of centers provided by study staff
* Perform outreach to peers at recovery support centers who have volunteered to help with patient linkage, assign peers to patients, and facilitate their introduction to each other
* Maintain communication with active peer volunteers who are attempting to connect with a patient
* Maintain accurate and up-to-date records on patients enrolled in the study, including regularly documenting and reporting patient/peer milestones and other relevant information to study staff
* Provide feedback to study staff on intervention and study-related procedures after delivering the intervention to the first 3-4 patients to guide potential modifications
* Participate in an exit interview at the end of the study to provide feedback on the interventions for the purpose of guiding future modifications to intervention content/delivery
* High school diploma or GED required
* Minimum of 2 years in sustained and uninterrupted recovery at time of hire required; 3-5 years of sustained and uninterrupted recovery preferred
* Successful completion of a CCAR approved Recovery Coach Academy required
* Demonstrated understanding of the multiple pathways approach to recovery from opioid and other substance use disorders, and willingness to embrace a patient-centered approach that recognizes an individual's preferences and autonomy ("recovery by any means necessary")
* Demonstrated understanding of the efficacy of Medication for Addiction Treatment as one of the multiple pathways to recovery
* Strong advocacy skills along with knowledge of community based services, resources, and local recovery community
* Excels at problem solving, time management, and multi-tasking; organized, efficient, and goal directed
