For many struggling with addiction, the ability to achieve stable recovery is often jeopardized by untenable housing or unsupportive living environments. Despite promising research on recovery residences, there are still significant gaps in the research on them. Using data collected from a stratified random sample of recovery homes in Philadelphia (N = 25), this study describes the organizational, operational, and programmatic characteristics of these homes and explores potential differences in these characteristics by funding source and gender of residents served. Although not licensed treatment providers, the majority of these homes operated in a recovery-oriented manner and offered a range of different services to their residents-all for a reasonable monthly fee (M = $340.40, SE = 18.60). Few differences emerged between homes that received funding from the Philadelphia Office of Addiction Services and those that did not or between those that served males as opposed to females. More research is needed to address resident outcomes and how Philadelphia recovery homes may compare with recovery residences in other parts of the country.
对于许多与成瘾问题作斗争的人来说，实现稳定康复的能力常常因难以维持的住房条件或缺乏支持的生活环境而受到威胁。尽管关于康复之家的研究前景乐观，但在这方面的研究仍存在重大差距。本研究使用从费城康复之家的分层随机样本（N = 25）中收集的数据，描述了这些康复之家的组织、运营和项目特征，并探讨了这些特征在资金来源和所服务居民性别方面的潜在差异。尽管这些康复之家并非有执照的治疗提供者，但大多数以康复为导向运作，为居民提供一系列不同的服务——所有这些服务每月收费合理（M = 340.40美元，SE = 18.60美元）。接受费城成瘾服务办公室资助的康复之家与未接受资助的康复之家之间，以及服务男性居民的康复之家与服务女性居民的康复之家之间，几乎没有差异。需要更多研究来探讨居民的康复效果，以及费城的康复之家与美国其他地区的康复之家相比情况如何。
