Community Bridges is the primary provider of crisis care, medical detoxification, and outpatient services to homeless, indigent, and working poor residents of Maricopa County, Arizona. In its Peer Support Recovery Program, peer support specialists work in homeless and crisis centers, as well as on the street, to reach out to individuals—including recently released prisoners seeking recovery—to provide peer support in accessing services. For those in treatment, peer support specialists provide a variety of support services, including assistance in making transitions between levels of care. As needed, they also offer help in accessing other services, such as housing, employment, and health care. The peer support specialists, who receive 160 hours of classroom and on-the-job training, are supervised by a peer support manager.
