SUMMARY OF PROJECT:

Wisconsin Voices for Recovery (WVR), at the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health (DFMCH), will continue to oversee the ED2 Recovery+ program through regrant awards to organizations who will offer peer support services by recovery coaches or certified peer specialists. These services are currently occurring in several hospital sites statewide offering referrals, support, and follow up for treatment and recovery to individuals that have experienced an opioid or stimulant overdose. Recovery coaches and certified peer specialists may also offer services outside of emergency department settings including destinations where an individual may have experienced and opioid or stimulant overdose including and not limited to EMT services, first responders, public health departments, probation and parole offices, law enforcement, and treatment and/or recovery centers. This statewide peer support network will function as a portion of the State Opioid Response and/or American Rescue Plan Act. The ultimate goal of the program is to unite treatment systems to promote peer support services that will:

(1)  Decrease the number of overdose fatalities in Wisconsin

(2)  Increase treatment and recovery support service utilization of the target population

(3)  Reduce Emergency Department admissions due to overdoses

(4)  Provide peer support services in community settings

(5)  Be a sustainable and collaborative peer support network
