Recovery Housing Can Change Lives.
A brief by the National Council for Behavioral Health summarized the positive outcomes for residents of recovery housing:
- Decreased substance use
- Reduced probability of relapse/recurrence
- Lower rates of incarceration
- Higher income
- Improved family functioning
- Raised self esteem and self confidence
SAFE Project knows recovery housing needs more support. To be a part of the solution, SAFE Project provides education on quality recovery housing and the different types of recovery homes that exist. By doing this, we reduce stigma and help grow recovery communities throughout the nation.
What is the Recovery Housing Locator?
SAFE Project has developed a first-of-its-kind recovery housing locator with national partners from across the country in order to increase access for those seeking recovery housing and support. SAFE Project works to address gaps and provide educational materials that support owners and operators in order to stabilize the recovery housing landscape, increase quality, reduce stigma, and help grow recovery-friendly communities for individuals and families throughout the nation.
