Peer support, delivered by people with lived experience, can address these challenges by fostering engagement and building recovery skills. This study piloted a peer intervention using the RECovery CAPital (REC\u2010CAP) strengths assessment and planning tool for individuals on a waiting list for alcohol and other drug community treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Eligible participants (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200921) were referred to peer workers for an assessment and goal setting session using REC\u2010CAP between April and August 2024. Follow\u2010up sessions occurred at 4\u2010 and 12\u2010weeks to revisit goals and readminister REC\u2010CAP, alongside brief fortnightly check\u2010ins. At 12\u2009weeks, qualitative interviews explored participant experiences and identified suggestions for improvement. Interviews were analysed using inductive content analysis. Changes in recovery capital (REC\u2010CAP score) were assessed using a general linear model.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 21 participants (55% male, mean age 44), 72% identified alcohol as their primary drug of concern. Recovery capital significantly increased across the three time points, with the greatest gains observed between baseline and 4\u2009weeks (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200915).
