Congratulations to Dr. Bettina Hoeppner, who is the lead author on the recent publication in the Journal of Addiction Medicine: A Nationwide Survey Study of Recovery Community Centers Supporting People in Recovery From Substance Use Disorder.
Takeaways:
“Recovery community centers are welcoming environments for people who take MOUDs. Closer collaboration between the medical community and community-based peer-led RCCs may lead to significantly improved reach of efforts to end the opioid epidemic.”
“The authorship team spans all of our targeted stakeholder groups: addiction scientists, addiction clinicians, prescribers of medications for opioid use disorder, recovery advocates, recovery community center leaders, and people who have shaped policies regarding recovery community centers – and, of course, trainees. A wonderful team experience!”
– Dr. Hoeppner
