PRO-ACT, a project of the Bucks County Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, is spearheading an effort to replicate its peer recovery support service model—developed in Philadelphia and Bucks County—in Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware Counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. Peer recovery support services are provided to individuals and families seeking any route to recovery, including medical assistance. PRO-ACT specifically targets those seeking recovery from co-existing disorders and those desiring recovery support related to their gender (such as women’s reproductive health problems), experience (such as military or correctional system involvement), or goals (such as family reunification or continuing education and career planning). Peer recovery support services are delivered primarily by volunteers from the local recovery community. PRO-ACT has identified specific stakeholders and locales, including recovery homes and community recovery resource centers, to conduct early service roll-outs. Services include peer-led support groups, peer-delivered life skills workshops and trainings, one-on-one coaching and mentoring, information services, and referral to local resources. Health and wellness groups are available, along with cultural and socialization activities.
