The ASAM Criteria now recommends an addition of a “recovery residence” to an outpatient level of care for some individuals with SUD. A range of terms have been used to describe recovery residences, including “sober homes,” “recovery homes,” “therapeutic communities,” and “Oxford Houses.” Recovery residences are community programs rooted in the social recovery model and operated in home-like, recovery-supportive settings that provide opportunities to learn and practice interpersonal and other life skills. Recovery residences might or might not offer treatment services by licensed healthcare professionals. Recovery residences do not solely serve individuals with housing instability but can be a critical resource when housing instability exists.
