Have the Conversation with Someone Who “Has Been There.”
The Center’s Peer Recovery Support connects help seekers with the most useful resources in their communities, including “no cost treatment,” so they continue to work toward their goals in dealing with any gambling problems.
Peer recovery support services are delivered by individuals who have common life experiences with people they are serving. These services help prevent relapse and promote sustained recovery from addictions.
It’s a long road to recovery. Although the faces of addiction are many, all persons on the road to recovery need the support of others. And these others need to be familiar with what it means to be an addict. The Center’s Peer Recovery Support Specialists help individuals seeking to limit, control or stop their gambling by connecting them to the resources you need.
Peers are often easier to talk with because they have walked a similar path and provide a variety of support mechanisms:
- Encourages the individual through empathy, concern or caring by helping to strengthen confidence and self esteem.
- Shares knowledge and information of resources available to guide individuals to success, including access treatment at no cost.
- Assists people in completing tasks necessary for successful recovery; i.e., transportation, housing, etc.
- Helps individuals gain a sense of belonging and being with others.
