The Oxford House model for substance abuse recovery has potential economic advantages associated with the low cost of opening up and maintaining the settings. In the present study, annual program costs per person were estimated for Oxford House based on federal loan information and data collected from Oxford House Inc. In addition, annual treatment and incarceration costs were approximated based on participant data prior to Oxford House residence in conjunction with normative costs for these settings. Societal costs associated with the Oxford House program were relatively low, whereas estimated costs associated with inpatient and incarceration history were high. The implications of these findings are discussed.
牛津之家药物滥用康复模式具有潜在的经济优势，即开设和维持该场所的成本较低。在本研究中，根据联邦贷款信息以及从牛津之家公司收集的数据，估算了牛津之家每位参与者的年度项目成本。此外，结合牛津之家居住前的参与者数据以及这些场所的标准成本，估算了年度治疗和监禁成本。与牛津之家项目相关的社会成本相对较低，而与住院治疗和监禁历史相关的估计成本则较高。本文讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
