Peer Recovery Specialists will work in conjunction with the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office to establish or expand programs in which law enforcement officers play an active role in identifying individuals with substance use disorders and—together with community partners—serve as a point of entry for treatment and/or recovery support services. The program will involve coordination and collaboration between law enforcement officers, recovery specialists, and other addiction professionals to connect individuals suffering from the disease of addiction with treatment and/or recovery support services.
