Summary

This study looks at whether having a specially trained peer recovery specialist in the emergency department helps people with substance use disorders connect to treatment and support services. Researchers will follow 400 adults who visit the ER for substance-related issues, comparing those who work with a peer specialist to those who don't. The goal is to see if this approach increases engagement in addiction treatment and reduces repeat ER visits and deaths.
