CN Guidance's Hope Starts Here Mobile Recovery Unit provides innovative critical access to SUD prevention, secondary prevention, and treatment services on Long Island. This session focuses on sharing replicable program design elements that have contributed to the success of our mobile recovery team: implementation of a dedicated outreach plan, peer-based supports, and community engagement to identify and establish a presence in substance use “hotspots.” Attendees will take away actionable insights into how organizations can effectively implement their own mobile recovery units as well as inspiring examples of the lives changed through this innovative form of community engagement and service.
