Peer support specialists enhance addiction treatment through their lived experience, providing an empathic and individualized approach to recovery. Their responsibilities encompass clinical assistance, psychosocial reintegration, prevention, professional training, and research. Specific training, integrating experiential knowledge with technical skills, ensures their seamless incorporation into health care teams.
