Tennessee Recovery Navigators

Tennessee Recovery Navigators are people in long-term recovery who meet patients who have recently overdosed in the Emergency Department and connect them with the substance abuse treatment and recovery services they need. Navigators maintain a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) Certification to use their lived experience to help others find recovery. Navigators connect individuals entering emergency departments (EDs) to recovery services after being admitted due to an overdose, experiencing active withdrawal, or being identified as having a substance use disorder (SUD).
