Opening Keynote
Peer Recovery Support Services: Rationale and Science
Peer recovery support services have emerged and grown substantially during the past 50 years. This growth is due to increased recognition of the need that many suffering from substance use disorder have to build recovery capital and support remission through the early months and years of recovery. This presentation will describe the theoretical rationale for the increase in these peer support services and review the research on their clinical and public health utility and cost-effectiveness.
