SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) published its Working Definition of Recovery in 2012. It includes 10 Guiding Principles, one of which is peer support.
The guide highlights several of the benefits of peer support, especially the role of helping others in recovery, when it says, “Through helping others and giving back to the community, one helps one’s self.” Peer support plays a vital role in long-term sobriety. This article will highlight a few benefits and ways to help others in recovery, no matter where you are in your journey.
