Guidance

Cultivating or facilitating peer-to-peer mutual support amongst residents is a priority within  social model recovery programs that is often missing or minimized in clinical and institutional models. Within the culture of a recovery residence, individual residents must be given ownership of and empowered in their recovery. In addition, they are expected to provide support to their fellow residents. They are not to sit back (or push back) as a passive recipient of services. In contrast, they play the most important role in their recovery and the recovery of others in the community. They “give to get”. They are the providers of recovery support as much as they are a recipient of recovery support within a social model structure.

Evaluation

Is there evidence that resident-to resident peer support is facilitated in a manor that encourages residents to support others in recovery and practice peer support interactions with other residents?

Evidence

Evidence for meeting this rule should be found in the resident packet and the leadership manual.
