FOREward Together: Targeting Peer Recovery Coaches to Promote Retention and Adherence to MOUD

(Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts; PIs: Magidson and Felton)

We want to educate peer recovery coaches on the practice of Behavioral Activation and how they can apply this evidence based intervention with the peers that they lead for the purpose of retention from substance abuse and adherence to MOUD/MAT. Learning the techniques to teach Behavioral Activation allows coaches to guide peers in a thorough and structured manner to enhance the likelihood of reaching recovery goals.
