Abstract
Abstract Peer navigation is a model that includes connecting an individual in need of services with a peer who can navigate engagement in clinical treatment services and provide emotional and logistical support that is often unavailable through the traditional system. In the substance use field—where the use of peers is a relatively new phenomenon—peers are individuals with lived experiences who are in recovery themselves. In 2016, a peer program called RECOVERY was implemented in a northeastern U.S. state. This team of peers act as a bridge between a referral source (e.g., police, emergency services, hospital) and treatment facilities. Using semi-structured interviews from the team of peers (N = 5), this paper provides a case study of the implementation process for this peer recovery program. The findings identify potential barriers and facilitators to peer services and offer a feasible approach for implementing peer support programs in substance use settings.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
