Peer Recovery Support for Addiction From the Council on Chemical Abuse
The Council on Chemical Abuse runs Recovery Support Services, which pairs people in Berks County who are struggling with substance addiction with certified Recovery Specialists who are themselves in personal recovery from addiction.
These services are not treatment. They are meant to work alongside drug and alcohol treatment by promoting sustained recovery and helping to prevent, or minimize, episodes of relapse.
A Recovery Specialist helps you connect with supports and resources in the community so you stay engaged in recovery. Together you build a Recovery Plan that names the obstacles in the way of your recovery and the recovery capital that will strengthen it. Those plans cover an array of life concerns, including rebuilding a healthy lifestyle, sober leisure activities and community service, and building meaning and purpose.
To learn more or get started, contact the Treatment Access and Services Center, known as TASC, at 19 N. Sixth St., Suite 300, Reading, PA 19601, or call (610) 375-4426. The Council on Chemical Abuse itself is at 50 N. 5th Street, 5th Floor, Reading, PA 19601, (610) 376-8669.
The page gives few other details. It does not say what the service costs, what hours it is available, whether you need to be in treatment first, or how long you can work with a Recovery Specialist, so ask when you call.
