PEER RESPITE: Making a difference in Missouri
Peer Respite cultivates mutual, trusting relationships between guests and peer staff, emphasizing peer support rooted in respect and shared responsibility. This approach involves individuals helping themselves and others through relationship-building and advocacy, empowering them to engage in their communities.
Peer Respite offers a non-judgmental approach, treating individuals with dignity, compassion, and respect while actively opposing the stigmatization of substance use disorder and adhering to evidence-based policies and practices. In many cases, individuals experiencing homelessness or awaiting treatment may not be suitable for immediate integration into existing accredited recovery homes. Peer Respite provides a safe haven for such individuals, offering temporary accommodation until they can access appropriate services or return to a treatment program after a relapse.
