Abstract: Peer recovery support (PRS) offers significant benefits for individuals in recovery from substance abuse disorders. This research describes the experiences of the first 12 months of a tribally led, American Indian community-based PRS project in two American Indian communities. An intrinsic qualitative case-study design was used to answer the research question, “What are some considerations for implementing PRS services in an American Indian reservation community?” Results showed PRS services fill a much-needed gap in American Indian communities where recovery support resources are limited and substance abuse is pervasive.
