Ideal Option’s mission is to provide underserved populations with low-barrier access to evidence-based addiction treatment. Funding from this project will be leveraged to employ a full-time peer navigator and build infrastructure for a sustainable peer program. An individual in early recovery is often faced with the need to abandon friends and social networks that promote and help sustain a substance use disorder, but has no alternatives to put in their place that support recovery. Peer navigation can help such individuals in treatment make new friends and begin to build alternative social networks. Individuals in substance use disorder treatment face many barriers, and a peer navigator could provide direct support to increase access to social resources and overcome barriers. The core roles of this peer navigator will include need identification, advocacy, practical assistance, health care appointment support, emotional and social support, education, referrals, collaboration, evaluation, and support to navigate the health care system. This navigation will not be limited to services at Ideal Option. Ideal Option and the peer navigator will assess the needs of each patient and make referrals to other services as appropriate. The peer navigator will assist the patient in navigating the health care and social services systems during their induction, treatment, and recovery.
