FCS Presents: Supportive Housing Monthly Topical

Details
Many people believe that getting a person into SUD treatment is the most important step in their recovery process. While all steps are important, what happens when someone exits treatment (or incarceration) can make a much bigger difference in the long term. The connections, support, and accountability a person receives in a quality recovery home can be the game-changer for long-term recovery and with treatment programs. A growing body of research tells us that recovery housing residents are more likely to stay sober, gain employment, stay out of the legal system, rebuild family relationships, and engage in their communities; no matter how we measure success in holistic recovery, a healthy, supportive, and accountable community provides the best environment for success. Not all recovery homes are the same. There are multiple levels of support, varying recovery philosophies, and endless environment options in the recovery housing world. We will describe the Oxford House model in detail and compare it with other recovery housing models available in the state. We will also offer suggestions on how to help people find the best fit for their current recovery situations and engage with audience members about their experiences in and around recovery housing.

Presentation Objectives:

1. To discuss the effectiveness of community/court engagement in the recovery housing setting to significantly improve the long-term success of people in recovery
2. To describe the Oxford House model of recovery housing and why it is growing so rapidly in our region
3. To describe WAQRR recovery housing models that offer higher levels of care
4. To explore the best ways to help someone find the best recovery home for them
