Sober living houses (SLHs) are an increasingly common element of the recovery support services landscape, yet little is known about their neighborhood context. This study describes neighborhoods in which SLHs are located and examines differences by house characteristics. SLHs in Los Angeles County (N = 297) were geocoded and linked with U.S. Census, alcohol outlet, recovery resources, and accessibility data. Regression analyses tested differences by house characteristics. Co-ed houses were in neighborhoods that were less ethnically diverse and farther away from recovery resources. Larger house capacity was associated with increased density of off-premise alcohol outlets but also increased proximity to treatment. Higher fees were associated with lower neighborhood disadvantage and off-premise alcohol outlet density but the greater distance from treatment programs and other recovery resources. House characteristics are associated with neighborhood factors that both support recovery and place residents at risk.
sober living houses (SLHs) 是康复支持服务领域越来越常见的元素,但对于它们的邻里环境却知之甚少。本研究描述了 SLHs 所在的邻里环境,并考察了房屋特征的差异。洛杉矶县的 SLHs(N=297)进行了地理编码,并与美国人口普查、酒精销售点、康复资源和可达性数据进行了链接。回归分析测试了房屋特征的差异。男女同校的房屋所在的邻里环境种族多样性较少,离康复资源也较远。较大的房屋容量与非现场酒精销售点的密度增加有关,但也与治疗的接近程度有关。较高的费用与较低的邻里劣势和非现场酒精销售点密度有关,但与治疗项目和其他康复资源的距离较远。房屋特征与既支持康复又使居民面临风险的邻里因素有关。
