A peer’s unique pathway to recovery typically leads through stages of change. The Stages of Change model was developed by behavioral health researchers, Carlo C. DiClemente and J. O. Prochaska, to understand the process of change relating to substance use. This model can be applied to a range of substances as well as to specific mental health challenges. Five descriptive stages offer a way for certified peer specialists to consider where a peer is at in the process of change.
