ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) – For many in recovery from alcohol or drug addiction, it’s a life-long journey to stay clean.
Peer Recovery Specialists with Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare came on Here @ Home to explain the importance of peer support during recovery.
Peer support means having assistance from someone who has lived that same experience in their recovery journey through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment. This is someone who can understand how another person is feeling because they experienced similar situations.
Listen in on the full conversation in the video above. You can tune into Here @ Home Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on WDBJ7.
