PRESS RELEASE
Published November 16, 2023

The new IPRP program uses peer support groups, peer case management, life skills development, and community integration to help individuals transition from clinical care to sustained recovery. Peers and certified peer recovery specialists facilitate individual and group sessions to educate participants about recovery and impart the life skills needed for sober social assimilation.

The Intensive Peer Recovery Program addresses a critical need for ongoing support following clinical addiction treatment. Recovery from alcoholism and substance abuse requires an extended commitment to sobriety and lifestyle changes. Too often, individuals leave treatment only to relapse in isolation without a recovery community or the skills to navigate high-risk situations.

Research shows that peer-based programs like IPRP dramatically improve long-term recovery outcomes. A comprehensive analysis conducted in 2020 by a Stanford School of Medicine researcher revealed that Alcoholics Anonymous and similar programs were highly effective in helping individuals achieve lasting sobriety.

Ongoing peer interaction and accountability help participants solidify new sober behaviors and thinking patterns that aid long-term recovery.

The 4-week IPRP curriculum includes individual and group skill sessions facilitated by New Jersey Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS). Participants join CFC Recovery's network of support groups and social activities as part of their ongoing recovery program.

They work with peers and specialists to create a customized Wellness Recovery Action Plan and build life skills like financial literacy, time management, and healthy communication.

CFC Recovery has already helped over 20,000 New Jersey families impacted by addiction since its founding in 2012. These peer-based programs have an 85% long-term recovery success rate. CFC was awarded SAMHSA's Building Recovery Community Organization grant in 2020 for its proven impact.
