Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation (Peer Activate)

The Peer Activate intervention consisted of weekly one-hour BA sessions led by a peer recovery specialist (PRS) for up to 12 weekly sessions, with the first five being the core treatment sessions and content, and the subsequent seven designed to reinforce core content. In these sessions, participants received individualized support in learning skills to assist in their retention and persistence in methadone treatment and were guided through exercises aimed at incorporating substance-free, rewarding activities into their daily life.
