Wellness Director
Complete Care Heritage, Maryland
Consuelo Green CPRS, RPS , Certified Peer Recovery Specialist for Johns Hopkins Bayview. I am part of the OUD pilot team at Johns Hopkins Bayview. My role as a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist is to meet with the patient on the inpatient unit, start by introducing myself and share a little about my story. I have been in recovery from all drugs and alcohol for over 5 years and the steps I took to acheive this. After I share with them about myself I then start finding out if the patient have any recovery goals and how I can help. During this conversation I can determine the patient readiness and desire for treatment and recovery. At this point, I encourage and support any life style changes the patient desire concerning recovery from drugs and alcohol. I understand that their are many pathways to recovery so I stay patient centered to what ever goals the patient have. I also inform the patient about the Wellness and Recovery groups that I facilitate at the SNF that they will be going to. Once at the SNF I have one on one meetings with the patient to keep them engage in recovery and plan future aftercare goals. I relay this information with the team to keep updates on the patient during weekly conference calls and emails. My role as a Peer is to encourage, motivate, mentor and support Johns Hopkins Bayview patients going to Skilled Nursing.
