Emergency Departments are critical points of contact between the healthcare system and people experiencing an opioid use crisis. What happens in that visit — whether they're offered medication for opioid use disorder, whether someone with lived experience is there to meet them — can shape everything that comes afterward.

Code Recover gives ED clinicians and Peer Support Specialists practical tools to work together in that moment: evidence-based articles, printable quick-reference guides, training videos, and a network of people advancing this work across the country.

 

Why Recovery Peer Support in the Emergency Department?

Emergency Departments are on the front lines of the opioid crisis. Every day, physicians, nurses, and clinical teams care for patients experiencing substance use disorders, often at critical turning points.

Peer Support Specialists — individuals with lived experience of recovery — play a transformative role in engaging patients, building trust, and connecting people to treatment and community-based resources.

Yet many hospitals and ED teams lack:

  • Clear implementation guidance
  • Standardized training for clinical staff
  • Defined collaboration protocols
  • Practical tools for sustainable integration

Code Recover exists to close that gap.
