Project Engage
Project Engage is an early intervention and referral to substance abuse.
What is Project Engage?
Project Engage collaborates with hospital staff to identify and connect patients with community-based substance use disorder treatment programs and other resources.
Project Engage integrates peers in recovery, who are called Engagement Specialists, into the clinical setting in the hospital to meet with patients at their bedside about their alcohol and/or drug use.
The Engagement Specialists learn about the patient’s goals and coordinate treatment options that support the patient’s needs. The Engagement Specialists use motivational interviewing to empower each patient in the decision-making process, assisting them to take that critical first step to seek help for their substance use. Project Engage Discharge Coordinators are experts in community resources, in obtaining access to facilities in the area and in assisting the team to overcome barriers so patients can receive care and transition into treatment.
