Frequently Asked Questions
What is recovery housing and how does it help?
Recovery housing provides safe, substance-free housing and peer support for individuals in recovery. It fills the gap between intensive treatment and independent living, providing accountability, community, and stability during early recovery. Research shows recovery housing significantly improves outcomes and reduces relapse.
What's the difference between sober living and transitional housing?
Sober living homes provide long-term housing (months to years) with peer support and recovery community. Transitional housing is short-term (typically 6-12 months) providing a bridge from treatment to independent living. Both are substance-free and recovery-focused but differ in duration and intensity.
What is an Oxford House?
Oxford Houses are peer-run recovery residences where residents share household responsibilities and recovery activities without professional staff. They operate democratically with residents managing the household. Federal grants support Oxford House development and operations nationwide.
How does recovery housing address homelessness?
Homelessness and substance abuse often occur together. Recovery housing provides stable housing while addressing recovery needs, preventing relapse and enabling individuals to rebuild lives. Supportive housing approaches combine housing with recovery services, addressing both issues simultaneously.
Who funds recovery housing?
Federal funders include SAMHSA, HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development), HRSA, and some housing block grants. State and local funding also supports recovery housing. Some grants specifically target recovery housing for homeless individuals.
How effective is recovery housing?
Research shows recovery housing significantly improves outcomes. Residents stay in recovery longer, use substances less, remain employed more, and experience better quality of life. Combined with treatment, recovery housing doubles the effectiveness of addiction recovery programs.
