Recovery Housing Builds Recovery

Recovery Housing (RH) is a social recovery model that has continued to evolve over the last 20 years to promote recovery while addressing housing issues and social drivers of health. By aligning social and medical interventions, RH supports the concept of community as an intervention. [1],[1] RH programs and services seek to increase: 1) health and well-being; and 2) promote long-term recovery. Health and well-being measures are not solely the absence of disease but reflect an individual’s perceptions of health status; participation in family and community— interpersonal connections, work, and housing; and a sense of meaning and purpose in life. RH reflects a range of addiction recovery programs and services that are available within the residential structure, some guided by a completely lead peer process and others that include professionals involved in program services.
