Peer 2 Peer: Overdose Response Program

Type Of Service

Case Management - Substance Use

Program Description

The Peer2Peer Overdose Response program connects individuals affected by drug/alcohol poisoning with someone who has relevant lived experience. Our Peer Recovery Coaches are based in the community, RAAM clinics, and in the hospital to connect promptly with individuals with substance-related concerns, including drug/alcohol poisoning. The Peer Recovery Coach is also available to those experiencing harm related to substance abuse.

Peer Recovery Coaches at Emergency Rooms
Peer Recovery Coach provides support to individuals and their friends/families following a hospital presentation related to substance use, drug poisoning, and/or overdose. As part of the Peer Led Overdose Response program (P2P), the Peer Recovery Coach brings a unique, non-traditional perspective that offers practical and emotional support and a sense of hope, as individuals and families work through the first several days after an overdose and identify how they want to move forward.

The Peer Recovery Coaches are based at Grand River Hospital, Cambridge Memorial Hospital and Guelph General Hospital and respond when an individual is brought to the Emergency Department, providing care, support, education, and information in a timely manner. The Peer Recovery Coach will provide support to the individual and their family/friends while in hospital and briefly (for approximately 10 days) following discharge to support links to community resources and supports.
