Empowering Recovery with Peer Support at BHG

Recovery doesn’t happen alone. That’s why peer support for addiction recovery is a key part of care at BHG.

Our Certified Specialists bring something uniquely powerful to the recovery journey: lived experience. They’ve faced many of the same challenges our patients are working through today. That shared understanding builds trust, reduces stigma, and helps patients feel seen, heard and understood.

Peer support is not clinical treatment – it’s connection. It’s encouragement on difficult days and practical guidance when navigating housing, employment, family relationships or community resources. It’s someone walking beside you who truly understands what recovery requires.

At BHG, our specialists work alongside medical providers, counselors and case managers to strengthen each patient’s recovery plan. They help patients stay engaged in care, build confidence and develop the skills needed for long-term stability. From early treatment through ongoing recovery, this type of support helps bridge the gap between clinical care and real-world living.

Why It Matters

Peer support helps patients:

• Build motivation and resilience
• Strengthen accountability
• Navigate community resources
• Develop recovery-focused life skills
• Stay connected beyond early treatment stages

Research consistently shows that peer engagement improves treatment retention and long-term outcomes. More importantly, it reminds patients that recovery is possible – because they’re learning from someone who has walked that path.

At BHG, our goal is not just to help patients begin recovery, but to help them sustain it. Peer support plays a vital role in turning treatment into lasting progress.

If you or someone you love is seeking support, our team is here to help.
