Recovery housing
is an intervention that is specifically designed to address the recovering
person’s need for a safe and healthy living environment while supplying the
requisite recovery and peer supports.
This report
identifies ten specific areas, or guiding principles, that will assist
states and federal policy makers in defining and understanding what
comprises safe, effective, and legal recovery housing. National
organizations have contributed significant and valuable work in developing
policies, practices, and guidance to improve recovery housing as an
integral model of care. The guiding principles in this document are meant
to provide an overarching framework that builds upon and extends the
foundational policy and practice work that had guided the development of
recovery housing to date. SAMHSA recommends following these Ten Guiding
Principles to guide recovery house operators, stakeholders, and states in
enacting laws designed to provide the greatest level of resident care and
safety possible.
