  27. Why do we need a Peer Support Specialist when we have medical staff? • Peers can offer participants important information with added credibility because they have “been there, done that.” • Participants can benefit from seeing people like themselves in positions in leadership and strive for those positions as well. • Can engage with a high-risk population that is normally hard to reach, and connect them with needed services and resources. • “I made it out, you can too.”

  28. ARC’s Mission To have peace in knowing that we have done all that we can to provide world-class, holistic care to those struggling with addiction by creating opportunities for each person served, employee, and stakeholder to discover their God-given destiny.
