Common Questions About Peer Recovery Support
What is peer recovery support?
Peer recovery support is provided by Certified Peer Recovery Supporters (CPRS), people with lived experience of substance use disorder and recovery. At Blue Heart Services, peer supporters help you develop recovery skills, build a personal support network, navigate challenges, engage more fully in treatment, and work toward sustained long-term recovery.
How is a peer supporter different from a counselor?
A counselor is a licensed clinical professional. A peer supporter is a person with personal lived experience of addiction and recovery who is trained and certified to use that experience to support others. Blue Heart Services uses both, and the peer supporter brings shared experience that clinical roles don't.
What does a peer supporter help with day to day?
Peer supporters at Blue Heart Services help with practical recovery skills, staying engaged in treatment, understanding what to expect throughout the recovery process, building a sober support network, navigating community resources, and managing day-to-day challenges.
Is peer support available throughout my treatment?
Yes. Peer recovery support is part of every Blue Heart Services level of care: withdrawal management, PHP, IOP and outpatient. You have peer support at every stage of treatment.
What is a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter (CPRS)?
A Certified Peer Recovery Supporter is a person in recovery who has met Ohio's certification requirements, including training and supervised experience. CPRS certification ensures peer supporters have the skills and ethical grounding to support others effectively.
