Building Bridges: Peer Support in Montana's Inpatient Treatment
“Recovery is dependent: achievable hope, freedom, empowering, unique to everyone journey, not a destination, getting a new lease on life, finding restoration after you fall down.”
Imagine you're navigating the rocky road of recovery and find a lifeline in the form of peer support. That's exactly what Montana's Peer Network (MPN) is doing by partnering with the Montana Chemical Dependency Center. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Ashley, MPN's Recovery Coach Supervisor, shares how this collaboration is transforming inpatient treatment. With over 800 members, MPN is dedicated to shifting from a maintenance model to a recovery model, emphasizing that recovery is a journey, not a destination.
Ashley explains how peer support offers hope, freedom, and guidance, making it an invaluable part of recovery. She recounts the initial challenges of introducing peer support at the center and how persistent outreach and education helped overcome them. The success stories are heartwarming, with individuals receiving support multiple times before leaving treatment. Ashley also highlights the importance of online support, especially for those in remote areas, and how it can create a positive ripple effect.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the power of peer support in addiction recovery.
