Peer Support

CPS & CRS Programs

Certified Peer Support (CPS) programs and Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) programs are Medicaid-billable programs with some limited County-funded options. They offer the support of individuals that are in recovery from psychiatric challenges (CPS) and drug & alcohol challenges (CRS) that completed the Pennsylvania requirements for certification. They provide guidance, mentoring and support from their own lived experience for those navigating their own psychiatric and drug & alcohol challenges. A list of CPS service providers is at the bottom of the page.
