ERs deploy recovered addicts to guide others toward treatment

NCT ID NCT06320015

Summary

This study is testing whether having a peer support worker—someone who has personally recovered from addiction—in the emergency room helps people with substance use disorders get connected to treatment and social services. Researchers will follow 400 people for 6 months to see if those who work with a peer worker are more likely to enter treatment, use fewer emergency services, and have better life stability. The goal is to see if this support model can save lives by bridging a critical gap in care.
