Peer and Support Recovery Services

Peer support group

A Peer and Recovery Support Specialist (PRSS) is someone with lived experience of behavioral health and/or substance use recovery who has received specialized training on how to use their experience to help others. A PRSS works with individuals during their recovery journey, sharing skills, coaching, and providing support.

To be employed as a PRSS in Colorado, individuals must complete an approved training program and pass a competency exam. Revive Health Recovery utilizes only certified PRSS staff to provide the best possible resources for the individuals we serve.

Peer Support

Peer support is many things, and often dependent upon the needs of the individual being served. It is:

  • Delivered by individuals who have common lived experiences of recovery.
  • Based on shared connection and understanding of experiences.
  • Able to lessen feelings of isolation, increase practical knowledge, and sustain coping efforts.
  • Available to individuals throughout their levels of care.
  • Support, strength, and most importantly, hope, which allows for personal growth, wellness, and recovery.
