Peer-Based Recovery Support Services:
The most common form of peer support is Recovery Coaches or Peer Support Specialists. They help the individual determine the recovery pathway that best suits their needs instead of guiding them down any specific pathway. The use of four main supports help achieve and maintain recovery:
- Emotional – empathy, caring, concern
- Informational – practical knowledge such as referrals and community resources that support health and wellness and vocational assistance
- Instrumental – concrete supports such as assistance gaining access to healthcare, housing, employment or other social services
- Affiliation – introductions and connections to healthy social contacts, recovery community supports, activities, and events
