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!!!
