Workshop E

Community Partners & Continuum of Care

E2 - Incorporating Peer Recovery Services in Medication Assisted Treatment Recovery

Wednesday, May 22, 2024
8:15 AM – 9:45 AM PST
Location: Celebrity 6
CE: 1.5
Presentation Summary: One of the biggest challenges in medication assisted treatment and recovery settings is managing the volume and variety of patient need to counselor ratio. Often, patients with opioid use disorder can benefit from additional support in care coordination and case management. A dedicated peer recovery specialist can address this gap and many more patient needs. Partnerships between organizations can build a continuum of care of peer recovery services that can meet patient’s specific needs in one setting.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:
  • Describe the unique need OUD patients have in MATR settings that may often go unaddressed.
  • Identify five key value-adds that PRS brings to office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) and opioid treatment programs (OTPs).
  • Discuss the elements needed to add peer recovery services in an OTP setting after learning about the partnership pilot program with Behavioral Health Group & Kyros.
