Description
Peer recovery services are becoming an integral part of the process for those seeking or already in recovery from substance use. There appears to be quite a bit of confusion as to what a peer recovery specialist (PRS), also called a recovery coach (RC), does exactly. This interactive presentation is meant to help provide some clarity around that topic.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to provide information about the differences between a PRS/RC, treatment technician, sponsor, and counselor.
- Participants will be able to more clearly define the roles and responsibilities of a PRS/RC.
- Participants will be able to provide education about what should NOT be part of the roles and responsibilities of a PRS/RC.
