Mericle Jennifer Miles John Cacciola Jason Howell Treatment Research Institute and Public Health Institute, Emeryville, California Treatment Research Institute Treatment Research Institute, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia National Alliance for Recovery Residences, St. Paul, Minnesota For many struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, the ability to get and stay clean is often jeopardized by untenable housing or unsupportive living environments. Recovery residences are designed to provide safe and supportive housing to help individuals initiate and sustain recovery. Despite promising research on Oxford Houses™ and Sober Living Houses in California, there are still significant gaps in the research on recovery residences and confusion in the treatment community over what constitutes a recovery residence. This article briefly reviews different types of recovery residences in the United States based on levels and standards developed by the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR), and explores how recovery homes in Philadelphia may be similar to or different from Sober Living Houses in California based on adherence to the Social Model approach to recovery. substance abuse addiction recovery recovery residences recovery homes sober living houses social model of recovery Blalock, H.
