For programs and partners

Peer support for your clients

We offer peer support to clients of treatment programs: on the waitlist, during treatment, and after discharge.

On the waitlist. We keep people connected. We replace lost ID so admission is not blocked. We help with food and the basics. We support the sober days required before admission. We go with people to assessment and admission.

During treatment, by arrangement with your staff. Peer visits. Income, housing and work applications. Referrals.

After discharge. Follow-up calls and visits. Recovery meetings and a sponsor. Finding and keeping a place to live. A quick route back to support, or to detox, after a return to use.

How it works alongside your team

• Peer support only. No counselling, no clinical advice, no advice about medication. Your clinical team leads treatment.
• Every member of our team has a vulnerable sector police check and training in naloxone, first aid, confidentiality, boundaries and crisis response.
• Feedback flows both ways.
• With each client's consent, we record outcomes you can use with your own funders. Did people stay connected and get admitted? Did they complete treatment? Did they have housing at discharge? Were they still connected to support at 30 and 90 days?

Ways to pay for it

A monthly retainer for set weekly hours. A per-client monthly fee. A joint funding application. Or a short, low-cost pilot that converts to a paid service if it works. We will talk through what fits your program.

Detox, stabilization, shelters and outreach

This is for staff at the detox centre, a stabilization program, the Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment Hub, a shelter, or a street outreach team.

We are not a replacement for anything you do. We fill the gap after your door, when a person is waiting and has nowhere to wait.

Refer someone to us by email for now. When our planned house opens, we will publish how referrals to it work.
