Cardiac Surgery Peer Recovery Support Program

The purpose of the study is to develop and implement an addiction recovery support program for cardiac surgery patients admitted with a diagnosis of infective endocarditis secondary to IV drug addiction. This is a single center/single unit (7-3600) exploratory study to examine the efficacy of three interventions on a subject's SOCRATES 8D score at time of discharge, at three months, and at six months. A convenience sample of all patients admitted to 7-3600 who meet the inclusion criteria for this study will be approached and provided information related to this study. Once entered into the study, the subjects will continue in the study through their hospitalizations and up to 60 days post hospitalization. This is a quality improvement study designed specifically for the cardiac surgery population. The unit is the primary unit that subjects who are admitted with IE are located. The study's objectives include: By date of discharge, subjects enrolled in the Peer Recovery Support Program will: 1. Actively engage in the program as defined by meeting with a Peer Support Volunteer at least two times prior to discharge, and or use of resilience journal, and or review of NA book. 2. Demonstrate negative drug screens done randomly during their hospitalization. 3. Actively contact at least one outpatient recovery program that they might enroll in prior to discharge (information about recovery programs to be provided by unit SW). 4. Demonstrate appropriate changes in their SOCRATES 8D survey scores from admission to program to post discharge. 5. Participate in follow up phone call with completion of SOCRATES 8D survey at 30 and 60 days post discharge.
