One of the major roles of peer recovery support is to serve as what?

A critic of the recovery system
A financial advisor
An advocate
A supervisor

The correct answer is: An advocate

The major role of peer recovery support is to serve as an advocate. Advocates in recovery support play a crucial role in helping individuals navigate their recovery journey by providing encouragement, emotional support, and practical assistance. They offer a unique perspective because they have experienced similar challenges and can relate to the struggles of those they support. This connection fosters trust and empowers individuals to engage in their recovery actively. In addition to offering support, advocates help individuals understand their rights and access resources necessary for their recovery, including treatment options, community resources, and social services. They also work to reduce stigma associated with addiction and recovery, promoting acceptance and understanding within the community. The primary goal of peer recovery support is to empower individuals to take charge of their recovery process, making advocacy the central focus of their role.
