Peer recovery coaches (PRCs) are increasingly playing a role in helping patients with substance use disorders engage with treatment. PRCs can support and motivate patients in meeting their self-defined recovery goals, engaging in addiction treatment, navigating the health care system, and overcoming barriers to recovery. This support increases patient engagement and is cost-effective. Little has been written about integrating PRCs in health care settings. In this column, the authors describe the implementation of a PRC program with 23 coaches serving 5,662 participants in diverse clinical settings. The authors discuss key facilitators and barriers and opportunities for further research.
同伴康复教练(PRC)在帮助患有物质使用障碍的患者参与治疗方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。PRC 可以支持和激励患者实现他们自行定义的康复目标,参与成瘾治疗,了解医疗保健系统,并克服康复障碍。这种支持增加了患者的参与度,并且具有成本效益。关于将 PRC 整合到医疗保健环境中的内容很少。在这篇专栏文章中,作者描述了一个 PRC 项目的实施情况,该项目有 23 名教练为 5662 名来自不同临床环境的参与者提供服务。作者讨论了关键的促进因素和障碍,以及进一步研究的机会。
