An Empirically Based Theory on Life in Recovery Homes

 Key characteristics of recovery homes include governance style (which can play a central role in structuring recovery mechanisms), social embeddedness (e.g., social relationships within the home), economic viability (e.g., the individual’s ability to be self-supporting), and learned recovery skills (such as coping with stress, avoiding putting one’s self in risky situations, etc.). These domains can have important associations with perceived quality of life (measured across physical, psychological, social relationships, and environmental domains). The current study investigated relationships among these key “active ingredients” of recovery homes. In addition, we present a dynamic model consistent with these observed relationships, to illustrate how relevant mechanisms interact over time and affect system evolution. Data were collected from recovery home residents in three states. Findings supported our overall hypotheses, indicating that social embeddedness, stress, and self-efficacy were related to quality of life, and policy and treatment-design implications are further examined by simulating system dynamics.

MAT Patients Finding a Fit in Recovery Housing


As the effects of the opioid crisis continue to grow, awareness of the need for recovery housing also has grown quickly. Among other treatment and recovery supports, access to high-quality recovery housing is essential for many people. Yet the demand for recovery housing far outpaces the need. Even when recovery housing is available, residences vary greatly in terms of the level of services and supports provided, the populations and regions served, and the culture. Acceptance of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is one such factor that varies greatly—impacting access to recovery housing for people with opioid use disorder (OUD).

RECOVERY ATTEMPTS: NEW DATA AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS

What is the number of serious attempts required to achieve stable resolution of a significant alcohol or other drug (AOD) problem? Previous studies of addiction treatment populations suggest prolonged addiction careers, and a substantial proportion (over half) of people in the United States admitted to addiction treatment indicate one or more prior treatment admissions. These reports stand as justification for the characterization of addiction as a “chronic relapsing” disorder. Such clinical studies, however, may not be representative of the larger pool of people experiencing AOD-related problems.

Federal Initiative Could Boost Recovery Housing in Rural Areas

“We know that the opioid crisis has hit rural communities hard, and we need to leverage all possible partnerships to support these communities,” said HHS Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use Elinore McCance-Katz, MD. “Housing plays a vital part in the recovery process for those living with opioid use disorders.”
