Summary

This small pilot study tested a program called PEERS, where people starting medication for opioid use disorder get regular sessions with a certified recovery specialist. The goal was to see if the program is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works. 13 adults from Pennsylvania clinics took part, and their feedback will help design a larger future study.
