Abstract
Project name: recovery support services program for salt lake county specialty courts applicant organization: utah support advocates for recovery awareness (USARA) project summary: utah support advocates for recovery awareness (USARA) proposes to expand and enhance peer recovery support services (PRSS) for justice involved individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) or CO-occurring substance use and mental disorders (COD), including those in recovery from these disorders, who are participating in salt lake county specialty courts, including: adult felony drug courts, family recovery courts, alternative substance addiction program (ASAP) courts, and veterans SU/MH court. Population to be served: 100 unduplicated people will be served annually, with 500 being served over the life of the project, as evidenced by gpra completion. The population of focus will be individuals over the age of 18 who have experienced substance misuse or have an identified substance use disorder (SUD), who are engaged in a salt lake county specialty court program and voluntarily want to engage with peer recovery support services (PRSS). In addition, 200 family members will be served, or approximately 40 family members per year. Strategies/interventions: through the achievement of project goals and objectives, we plan to: 1) establish peer recovery support services (PRSS) in partnership with the salt lake county specialty court system; 2) provide PRSS to individuals with SUD or COD who are involved with the salt lake county specialty court system; 3) increase recovery capital and social determinants of health for participants engaged in USARA's PRSS program; 4) provide support to families of individuals with SUD or COD in the form of support group meetings, education, and navigation services; and 5) provide supervision, training, and mentorship to individuals providing PRSS and engage in outreach to diverse populations for both peer specialists and peer supervisors. USARA's PRSS model is a strength-based approach that celebrates participant successes, helps participants advocate for themselves which increases a feeling of personal empowerment VS. Feeling disempowered by the criminal justice process and potential sanctions for court program violations. Additional benefits for participants include, following their commencement from speciality court, opportunities to stay engaged with USARA's PRSS. Each graduate is personally invited to become involved in the USARA addiction recovery council (ARC) where they can be an advocate for themselves and others to influence changes in specialty court programs or other issues impacting people with suds, criminal justice involvement, public health issues, local and state policies, etc. Some participants may want to become a certified peer support specialist themselves and USARA will assist them with the process and application to the state of utah.
