Peer Recovery Support at RCN
Peer recovery support connects you with someone who understands—because they’ve been there. Our Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS) use their lived experience to offer support, guidance, and real world tools to help you move forward in recovery.

Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS)

Certified Peer Recovery Specialists are individuals who use their lived experience in recovery to support others. Through training and certification, CPRS professionals are equipped to walk alongside people navigating recovery—offering guidance, connection, and real support.

They’re not counselors or sponsors—they’re peers who understand the process firsthand.

• Stay connected to recovery supports
