Brief intervention promotes mutual aid ‘aftercare’ in the UK
In the context of current UK policy this is a key study, testing how to extend recovery beyond formal treatment by systematically linking patients to the free resource of mutual aid groups, seen as the main way commissioners can square the circle of doing more with less. Peer counsellors almost doubled 12-step attendance, but the resulting impact on abstinence was much smaller.
