Summary
This study looks at whether having a peer recovery specialist in the emergency department helps people with substance use disorders get into treatment and stay connected to support. Researchers will follow 400 adults who visit the ER for substance-related issues, comparing those who work with a specialist to those who don't. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery, reduces ER visits, and saves lives.
