Recovery housing — including sober homes, halfway houses, transitional housing, and recovery residences — seeks to provide substance-free environments where peer support often plays a central role. Stable housing is essential and can greatly influence recovery outcomes.
Without quality recovery housing, many who complete treatment risk returning to the same living conditions that contributed to their substance use, threatening progress and increasing the risk of relapse. Because the quality, safety, and level of support in recovery housing can vary widely, choosing carefully is critical — and in many communities, demand exceeds availability. A Certified Peer Recovery Specialist can be a great resource when searching for recovery housing.
