The Peer Recovery Center of Excellence in its current form will be ending at the close of our grant year, August 30, 2024. This includes the work we do through our main grant and all supplements, including providing technical assistance.

We are working with SAMHSA on how and where our resources might continue to be available after the current iteration of the PR CoE ends and will share that information as soon as we have it. Please know that all of our resources are in the public domain and can be used, reused, modified, and shared without permission, as long as you do not charge for their use. We ask that you always cite the PR CoE source and author(s). You are welcome to access our Product Library and our Resource Library to download materials that may be of interest to you.

We will continue to provide training and technical assistance through the end of our grant, although more involved TA may be transferred to another TA center (such as the Opioid Response Network or the SAMHSA Program to Advance Recovery Knowledge [SPARK]) on a case-by-case basis if we anticipate that the work will continue beyond this month.

SAMHSA supports many training and technical assistance centers. Please visit the Practitioner Training portion of SAMHSA’s website to identify the best center to assist you after August 30th. SAMHSA does intend to fund the new Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS), which will build on and continue the work of the Peer Recovery Center of Excellence. CARS is set to begin around October 1, 2024.

We are extremely grateful for your support and involvement over the last four years. Because of you, we have been able to enhance the field of peer recovery support services and serve you, the peer workforce, as you help people with substance use challenges achieve and maintain long-term recovery.

If you have specific questions about this change, please contact our informational email (although please be advised that we will no longer be able to respond to emails sent to this address after August 30th), or you may contact David Awadalla, MSW, BSHP,  Public Health Analyst & Project Officer, Office of Recovery, SAMHSA.
