同行恢复专家（PRS）联合收割机结合他们的个人经验与物质使用和恢复与临床技能，以支持病人在治疗或恢复物质使用。本文提供了一个SAMHSA资助的项目，将PRS团队整合到初级保健诊所，以评估PRS支持对患者的物质使用，医疗保健参与和刑事司法参与的有效性的评估结果。PRS为有监禁和物质使用史的患者提供了一系列服务，包括促进支持小组，提供一对一的个性化支持和导航服务。在入组、出院和入组后6个月从PRS支持的患者中收集数据。结果显示，在过去30天内使用药物的患者百分比减少，使用酒精的天数减少，计划入学后更多的医疗服务参与增加，入学率增加，PRS支持的患者就业率增加。
Peer recovery specialists (PRSs) combine their personal experiences with substance use and recovery with clinical skills to support patients in treatment for or recovery from substance use. This paper provides evaluation findings from a SAMHSA-funded program that integrated a PRS team into a primary care clinic to assess the efficacy of PRS support on patients' substance use, healthcare involvement, and criminal justice involvement. PRSs provided a range of services to patients with histories of incarceration and substance use, including facilitating support groups, providing one-on-one individualized support, and navigating services. Data were collected from PRS-supported patients at intake, discharge, and 6 months post-intake. Results revealed reductions in the percentage of patients using substances in the past 30 days, decreased number of days using alcohol, increased engagement in more medical services after program enrollment, increased school enrollment, and increased rates of employment for PRS-supported patients.
