Recovery Residences
Dozens of studies have detailed the effectiveness of recovery residences in peer-reviewed journals and by national experts. For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) compared men and women leaving residential SUD treatment and returning to their prior living circumstances with those leaving residential treatment and moving into a recovery residence. Those who went to recovery residences showed significantly better outcomes at their two-year follow-up. Individuals who moved into a recovery residence, when compared to individuals who returned to their prior living circumstances, reduced their substance use (31% vs. 65%), probability of returning to use (22% vs. 47%), rates of incarceration (3% vs 9%), and increased their employment (76% vs 49%). Moreover, recovery residents earned $550 more monthly than their non-resident counterparts. This research demonstrates communal housing settings enhance substance use disorder treatment and recovery.
Through linkages to community recovery supports and the influence of the recovery residence model, better outcomes have resulted for those involved. Becoming immersed in new environments filled with caring, positive, empathetic, and empowering people can significantly impact those whose ability to thrive has been compromised by substance use disorder. Although treatment in recovery housing varies in structure, size, etc., common elements include being centered on peer support, and connection to services to promote long-term recovery

Research Talking Points:
QUESTION #3: WHY SHOULD WE FUND RECOVERY RESIDENCES? ANSWER: THEY WORK! RECOVERY RESIDENCES ARE SCIENTIFICALLY SUPPORTED SERVICES SHOWN TO PRODUCE POSITIVE RESIDENT OUTCOMES. Recovery residents have been demonstrated to increase motivation to maintain sobriety. Residents who lived in an Oxford Home, a type of recovery residence, had lower substance use, higher monthly income, and lower incarceration rates than those who did not live in recovery housing. Residents who have received treatment and recovery housing had increased positive outcomes compared to those who received treatment alone. Residents who stay in housing settings for six months or more had better outcomes than those with shorter stays. Recovery residences focus on providing mutual support and recovery community engagement for residents, activities that lead to more positive outcomes than those who participated in treatment alone.

QUESTION #2: WHY DO WE NEED BOTH RECOVERY HOMES AND TREATMENT CENTERS? ANSWER: RECOVERY RESIDENCES FOCUS ON “RECOVERY” OVER AND ABOVE ABSTINENCE ALONE, UNLIKE TREATMENT WHICH IS FOCUSED ON REMISSION (i.e., THE ABSENCE OF SYMPTOMOLOGY) Recovery residences do not provided treatment, they are not meant to replace treatment services in the community. Treatment services provide people with a SUD, the needed clinical services for people to heal from substance use. However, many find it difficult to benefit from treatment if their housing environment is not supportive of their treatment goals. Additionally, treatment programs are often short, and research shows that people need to maintain recovery for a period of years to reduce the likelihood of a reoccurrence of the disease. Recovery residences provide access to stable housing, social circles, knowledge about employment, health services, and a culture of recovery that promotes self-care, hope. These factors have been demonstrated to lead to increased outcomes than just treatment alone. Recovery homes are most successful when they have formal relationships with treatment providers and are integrated components of the continuum of care.

Research Talking Points
QUESTION #1: WHAT IS THE COST OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS TO SOCIETY? ANSWER: $700 BILLION ANNUALLY OR $1,800 FOR EVERY PERSON. Over 29% of the US population has suffered from an alcohol use disorder, and almost 10% from a drug use disorder. The high prevalence of these alcohol and other drug use disorders and related problems exacts an annual financial burden of $700 billion in health care, crime, and lost productivity. An adequate number of recovery homes could reduce that cost tremendously. The return on investment is $90 for every $1 spent.
