OBHS Peer Recovery Support Network Grows
September 25, 2013...
Just completed a confidentiality training with 9 peer volunteers today at the clinic. This brings our total number of volunteers to 14. Of course, they are performing a myriad of encounters with peers. We have methadone program volunteers and non-methadone volunteers at different times during daily clinic hours. The charge nurse met with these volunteers today and reviewed some basic information and processes to follow. The counselor team lead stopped by to thank the volunteers, remind them that they are breaking new ground at the clinic, and the work they are doing is vital and appreciated. The culture is indeed changing at OBHS.
We love our peers in recovery!!!

Peer Recovery at OBHS
It started with an idea, 2 grant-funded peer mentoring trainings from Advocates For Recovery Colorado, and a peer facilitated support group in the spring of 2012.
It was an idea whose time has come. In less than 18 months, OBHS now has 4 distinct Peer Recovery Support groups, provides a meet and greet with new patients as well as people seeking treatment, a newsletter, a blog, a Facebook group page, and is actively supporting a new adaptation process for new methadone patients. And over 150 of the 600 individual peers from the program have participated in our efforts.
These volunteers have made such an impact on the way OBHS does business that the PR department found it appropriate to celebrate and announce to the hospital campus and the community that Peer Recovery Services are HERE!!!
