Area of Science:

  • Addiction research
  • Social psychology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Abstinence-specific social support is vital for addiction recovery.
  • Sober-living environments, or recovery homes, offer opportunities for this support.
  • However, recovery homes are not universally effective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the duration of residency in recovery homes.
  • To identify factors influencing resident departure from recovery homes.
  • To understand the vulnerability of new residents during early stages of recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study of 602 Oxford House residents.
  • Focused on 155 residents with 2 months or less at baseline.
  • Tracked residency duration and social network integration.

Main Results:

  • New residents (1-2 weeks) had a ~40% departure rate.
  • Departure rates decreased with longer residency (31% at 2 weeks, 25% at 6 weeks).
  • Having a close relationship within the recovery home predicted lower departure rates.

Conclusions:

  • The risk of leaving recovery homes decreases significantly with accumulated time in residence.
  • The initial weeks in recovery homes represent a vulnerable period for residents.
  • Further research is needed to understand successful long-term residency during critical early weeks.
