Abstract

This AI-enhanced scoping review examined the impact of supervision on certified peer support specialists (CPSS) treating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in medical settings. A search of PubMed, EBSCO, and Elicit AI identified 20 articles. The literature primarily focuses on peer relationships with individuals with OUD and supervision, revealing barriers to effective treatment and supervision. While highlighting the potential of supervision to enhance access and the use of peer-modified evidence-based practices, few studies directly address the interplay of peers, OUD, medical settings, and supervision. The review concludes that supervision is vital for optimizing peer support in OUD medical contexts, emphasizing the need for further research in this understudied area.
