Experience a new level of support while at the University of Vermont Medical Center with Peer Recovery Coaches from Turning Point Center of Chittenden County.
Providers at University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC): reach out to pager
#7971. If you are a patient at the UVMMC and would like to speak to a recovery coach, speak to a UVMMC provider and ask for a Turning Point Center recovery coach to be paged. Our recovery coaches offer their services throughout the entire hospital, including the emergency department.
Our Peer Recovery Coaches bring invaluable firsthand experience of long-term recovery to individuals navigating addiction. They offer personalized connections and robust support, guiding you through resources like mental health services, detox options, housing assistance, job placement, family dynamics, financial management, and community support. This relationship extends beyond initial meetings to include daily phone calls, ensuring ongoing encouragement towards sustainable health.
The Peer Recovery Coaches’ focus is diverse and helps you focus on wraparound services on your journey toward wellness. From facilitating connections with local treatment centers to providing emotional support after crises, explaining treatment options, advocating on your behalf, or assisting in challenging conversations with community agencies—they are steadfast allies in every step of your recovery.
Since 2018, Turning Point Center’s Peer Coaches connect with patients struggling with use and addiction at UVMMC, and 83% of these patients seek continued services with TPCCC after their hospital visit. This peer connection is making a tremendous difference during a critical time. These numbers underscore the profound impact of our approach. The personal insight of our coaches proves instrumental in achieving and maintaining sobriety.
