PEER SUPPORT
Peer Navigators: A helping hand from people in recovery
CBI deploys “Peer Navigators” to be on call 24/7 for our patients. Having overcome their own substance use and mental health issues, their backgrounds make them ideal to reach those who need immediate guidance and assistance.
Peer Navigators are the heart of our daily and crisis support systems. They give patients the care they need at the time they need it. Whether during an immediate crisis, or for daily assistance, peers provide hope, education and support to people recovering, at every step.
Champions on the journey to self-sufficiency
Recovery is different for every person and it depends on a number of factors. It requires a healthy living environment, medical intervention, psychological intervention, and peer companions to help navigate the behavioral health system to attain his or her own unique recovery.
Because they live successfully in recovery, CBI’s Peer Navigators are uniquely qualified to champion our patients on their journeys back to health and self-sufficiency.

Role Models for Recovery
Patients know they can rely on Peer Navigators. And above all, they know they do not have to be ashamed, or hide in their truths. This makes the road to recovery easier, softer and more inspired. Peer Navigators help patients navigate their new, sober lives every day.
Compassionate Advocates for Those Struggling
As advocates who help coordinate ongoing care for patients, Peer Navigators inherently know what their patients need. Whether staying at an inpatient residence, in outpatient placement, or even during community service, Peer Navigators are able to assess patient needs and support them compassionately.
Peer Navigators care like no one else can. They care if an appointment is missed, if someone is a no-show at a meeting, and if communication has dropped. They are the first to recognize the signs of relapse, and do everything in their power to provide patients the tools to avoid it.
