Peer coaching for substance use support in jail
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether connecting people in jail with peer coaches—people with lived experience of substance abuse recovery—can help them stay engaged with care after release. You'd receive support calls and guidance from someone who understands recovery firsthand.
