(03) Recovery Support Services

A group of people stand facing away from the camera with their arms around each other's shoulders.

What is this strategy?

Fund evidence-based recovery support services, including peer support specialists or care navigators based in local health departments, social service offices, detention facilities, community-based organizations, or other settings that support people in treatment or recovery, or people who use drugs, in accessing addiction treatment, recovery support, harm reduction services, primary healthcare, or other services or supports they need to improve their health or well-being.

Why recovery support services?

People who use drugs themselves are the primary agents of reducing the harms of their drug use. Support services, when provided in supportive and non-judgmental manner, empower people who use drugs and assist them in reducing the harms of their use of drugs.
