"Peer recovery centers offer a community of support and fellowship with other people who have similar life experiences," said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake. "By offering opportunities to connect with others in the community who are all seeking the same goal of wellness, peer recovery centers can help those who are struggling see that recovery is possible." At peer recovery centers, adults from the community, who are living in recovery from mental health and substance use challenges, serve as a resource for adults with similar life experiences who are struggling to find or sustain recovery. There are opportunities in a safe, comforting, and judgement-free space for one-on-one connections and group activities focused on education, information sharing, skill-building, and socialization.
