Peer Mentoring Program

Like diabetes and asthma, addiction is a chronic disease. Until recently, however, most treatment has been based on a short-term acute care model through which individuals receive 30 to 90 days of treatment and are then returned to the community with the expectation that they automatically have the skills and resources needed to rebuild their life, succeed, and maintain their sobriety. 

Following treatment, these individuals often have no other option but to return to the only lifestyles, neighborhoods, and social networks they know, leaving them highly vulnerable to relapse. When relapse occurs, they are put through the same system again

Mariners Inn’s Peer Mentoring Program will serve individuals and families who are reintegrating into the community following substance abuse treatment and help them to avoid relapse and maintain a healthy, fulfilling, and independent lifestyle.  Recovery support services are ongoing non-clinical services (e.g. social support, mentoring, and linkages to community resources) that help individuals and families who are recovering from substance abuse problems maintain their recovery and improve their quality of life. Recovery support services also provide a bridge back to treatment when needed, ensuring that consumers access treatment promptly rather than waiting until their problem becomes more complex and costly to treat.

 

Services Provided:

  • Access to community resources that address mental health, education, literacy, employment, entitlements, housing and spiritual needs
  • Assist consumers in embracing recovery orientated principles and guidelines
  • Deliver person-centered care
  • Assist consumers with transitioning back into society
  • Assist in finding reliable transportation to appointments and interviews
  • Assist consumer in achieving treatment goals without returning back to treatment and maintain involvement in recovery process

The Impact

Being at Mariners Inn has been the best thing that has happened to me. I have been to two other treatment centers and none of them were as helpful. The staff here truly cares about my recovery and me moving on in life. Through this program I have a better relationship with my son, through the Strengthening Families program. And I have a better relationship with myself. I have set goals now and have the confidence to complete them.
I’m on my way to being a Border Patrol Officer. I am forever thankful and grateful to Mariners Inn.

My life has become better since coming through the doors of Mariner’s Inn. I am a sixtyone year old man with a broken spirit, hopelessness, mentally, and physically bankrupt. I didn’t even love myself and if I can’t love myself how can I love anyone else. Being a drug addict all your life and in the streets, that’s all you know, and your life is down to the animal level. But Mariner’s Inn has shown me a new way to live and a new way of life. They said you can recover. They have given me the tools on a daily basis in my defense against addiction which is a deadly disease. With close to 50 years of addiction, Mariners has given me hope and I’ve become an acceptable, responsible, and productive member of society. Mariner’s goes well beyond the call of duty for everyone who comes through their doors. The staff has much love and passion in doing their job. You can’t puta price tag on it or what they have done for me. They are Angels.
