What is a peer recovery support specialist?

A peer recovery support specialist is someone with lived experience of addiction and recovery who provides guidance, mentoring, and support to others seeking or maintaining recovery. They are typically certified through state programs and offer a unique perspective that complements clinical treatment.

What is the difference between a peer specialist and a counselor?

A peer specialist draws on personal lived experience with addiction and recovery, while a counselor or therapist has clinical training and licensure. Peer specialists focus on practical recovery support, mentoring, and community connections. Both play important roles in the recovery process and often work together as part of a care team.
