Peer Support Addiction Recovery

Receiving inpatient treatment for substance use disorder is only the first step in finding freedom from addiction. In the transition process of leaving inpatient treatment, many potential triggers exist that can lead to relapse or recurrence of symptoms. Helping you create a plan to handle these challenges is a major part of what sets us apart from other inpatient rehabilitation treatment centers.

The best addiction treatment programs need to address the whole person. Research shows that joining a peer support group can increase the long-term success of rehab.

A person who is new to recovery can feel lost when returning to their daily life. Many of their former friends also suffer from this disease, and family relationships may have been damaged by their substance use. A peer support specialist can give mentorship and guidance from the perspective of someone who’s in recovery themselves, and peer support groups offer a chance to create new relationships with others who are in recovery.

Social support after addiction treatment is often overlooked or ignored — and yet it’s one of the most important parts of successfully staying in recovery. A peer support addiction coach works as your partner on the road to wellness. From practical tools like behavior modification to advice and accountability, peer support acts as the missing link between inpatient rehab and returning to a full and balanced life.
