What is Peer Support?

How can it help with addiction and recovery?

Peer support is an old concept. It is a non-clinical relationship between a person with lived experience in mental health, behavioral health, or both.

In Oregon, some peer support workers are certified, others aren’t. While peer support workers can’t administer treatment plans, or prescribe medication, or monitor healthcare details, they have a vital role to play in promoting success and wellness in recovery.

Peer support workers can bust myths surrounding addiction and recovery, inspire hope and a sense of possibility for people in recovery, provide education, tools, and resources for peers, and help people in early recovery define their life goals and make a plan to achieve them.

Learn more about how Peer Support plays a vital role in the recovery of many of our patients at Shanti Recovery and Wellness:

Mobile TMS?

Now, that is an idea I have never heard of before. Talk about "meeting the patient where they're at!"

I love to see innovative ideas like this being trialed in the battle for our nation's mental health.

Are you a "friend of Bill?"

Have you read the Big Book?

For some, Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 steps work wonders.

But, for others, the 12 steps don't feel like a good fit.

So, what happens if Alcoholics Anonymous isn't effective for you?

What can you do now?

There's good news. The answer is: plenty.

The truth is that there is no one addiction treatment plan, m**hod, or modality that is perfect for every single patient.

Let's talk about why so many patients in Oregon are finding that the 12 steps isn't a good fit for them.

As an addiction medicine doctor, I’ve found that many patients begin their recovery journey with a 12 step program. For some, this works wonders. For others, the 12 steps don’t feel like a good fit. So, what happens if Alcoholics Anonymous isn’t effective for you? What can you do now? The answ...

What if Alcoholics Anonymous isn't effective for you?

Here's the truth: there is no one addiction treatment plan, m**hod, or modality that is perfect for every single patient.

While AA's 12-step program has helped many, it may not suit everyone. Alternatives like SMART Recovery or therapy can offer different approaches to recovery.

At Shanti Recovery & Wellness, we help patients discover the right path forward for them in reclaiming their lives from addiction. Each of our treatment plans is unique and tailored to the specific needs of the individual.

While we emphasize an evidence-based approach to addiction treatment, we work with patients walking all kinds of paths to recovery. For some, AA is an integral part of their healing. For others, AA doesn't resonate.

There is no wrong answer.

Remembers, it's important to explore various options to find the best fit for your needs.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/ie/blog/the-psyche-pulse/202506/what-if-alcoholics-anonymous-doesnt-work-for-you

If Alcoholics Anonymous doesn’t work for you, you’re not alone. The 12-step model isn’t for everyone, but there are modern, evidence-based alternatives for recovery.

A recent study showed that ketamine addiction for 2023-2024 is up by 800% across Europe and the United States - yes, globally.

The study showed that self-medicating is playing a large role in this trend.

We certainly see that with patients here at our clinic.

Self-medicating at home - using Ketamine and/or other substances - is a common way to deal with difficult experiences like:

- anxiety

- stress

-depression

- PTSD

So often, addiction "problems" begin as a sincere attempts to find a SOLUTION to pre-existing mental health issues.

If you're dealing with out of control feelings around ketamine or other substances, you're not alone. Recovery is possible. We are blessed to see it every day at Shanti Recovery & Wellness.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/addiction-outlook/202506/the-emerging-crisis-in-non-prescribed-ketamine-use

Ketamine, like other drugs of abuse,has been approved for medical use. But, it is being increasingly abused by individuals worldwide, causing serious health problems and concerns.

Addiction is one of the hardest problems a person can ever tackle in their lifeltime.

Making the decision to get help often comes with a lot of follow-up questions.

When our patients are ready to get outside help, they'll often encounter a puzzling set of questions about the way forward.

It's incredibly common for patients to ask themselves things like:

- Should I “quit” altogether or should I try to just rein it in?

- Should I go “cold turkey” or should I seek medical help for that?

- Do addiction treatment medications (MAT, m**hadone, Buprenorphine, Vivitrol, etc) just replace one addiction for another?

- What is “real” recovery?

- Am I “in recovery” if I still do X, Y, or Z?

- Am I “in active addiction” if I do X, Y, or Z?

Many of these questions boil down to a single question: is “harm reduction” better than “abstinence?”

In other words: "What’s the best way to beat addiction?"

Let’s break down these terms, cut through the confusion and offer our opinion on the best way forward.

After an encouraging decline, overdose deaths in the U.S. have again surged.

We're seeing it at Shanti Recovery and Wellness, and we're seeing it all over our fair city.

We need more than bandaids and "hopes and prayers" to address this pressing public health issue. Continuing to kick the can down the road and defer long-overdue investment in comprehensive solutions for Oregon's behavioral healthcare system will only add fuel to this fire.

https://www.opb.org/article/2025/06/18/u-s-overdose-deaths-rise-after-hopeful-decline/

The latest 12-month report from the CDC showed 1,400 more deaths in January of this year compared with the year prior. This comes after more than a year of dramatic progress. Experts say they're not sure if this is a "blip" or som**hing more troubling.

Have you seen the popular ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) content trending on TikTok recently?

Perhaps you’ve heard that so many people recently diagnosed with ADHD are being prescribed stimulant medication that we’re facing an Adderall shortage in the United States.

It’s 100% true that we’re diagnosing more people with ADHD and ASD now than ever before.

Neurodiversity is, scientifically speaking, trending.

Another big diagnostic trend in the medical community? Addiction. Diagnosis of Substance Use Disorder, along with ASD and ADHD have absolutely skyrocketed in the past few years.

Is there a link between SUD, ASD and/or ADHD? How do these various conditions interact? Are neurodivergent people more likely to suffer from SUD and, if so, why?

Today we will look at the interactions between these conditions and look at what we know about neurodivergence and effective treatment for addiction.

Is single dose psilocybin therapy a game changer for alcohol reduction?

New research is emerging to suggest as much. Newer studies are showing how a single dose may significantly cut down alcohol intake.

This breakthrough in addiction treatment shines as hope for those battling alcoholism in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.

https://www.psypost.org/single-dose-psilocybin-therapy-shows-promise-for-reducing-alcohol-consumption/

Early results from a pilot study indicate that psilocybin-assisted therapy could be linked to lower alcohol consumption and improved psychological outcomes, though larger controlled trials are needed to determine whether the psilocybin itself is responsible for these changes.
