Dr. William Scarbrough recently co-published a paper called "Peer Recovery Support Services: A Promising Approach to Combat Substance Use Disorders," in which he details what peer recovery support services are and how they have changed the game when it comes to substance use disorder treatment. In this episode of Recovery Corner, he explains the merits of peer services and talks about how shared lived experiences and empathy can completely transform the treatment process. Tune in to learn about these services and how they differ from (and perhaps even surpass) provider-based treatment options.
