Peer Support continues to provide huge value to overall treatment services at Shoreline. Peers have been instrumental in assisting counselors with managing their high-risk caseloads and helping to re-engage clients that have left treatment prematurely. Our peers are very knowledgeable regarding best practices for vulnerable populations and assist with distribution of Narcan and other harm reduction activities.
Shoreline has a lead peer, who oversees peer supervision at Shoreline and both hospital sites. The lead peer coordinates regularly with the clinical supervisors and acts in a liaison capacity. Peer support specialists are located at both Grand Strand and Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital full time and continue to make a large impact.
