Studies have shown persons living in recovery homes for drug and alcohol problems make significant, sustained improvements. However, there is limited information about factors associated with outcomes. This study examined how perceptions of social environment of one type of recovery home, sober living houses (SLHs), were associated with length of stay (LOS).
SLH residents and their house managers (N = 416) completed the recovery home environment scale (RHES) that assessed social model recovery characteristics and the community-oriented program evaluation scale (CPES) that evaluated perceptions of the program environment.
Scales completed by residents predicted LOS, but those completed by house managers did not. Larger discrepancies between the two groups were associated with shorter LOS. The RHES was shown to be a stronger predictor of LOS than the CPES.
Results highlight the importance of the social environment in SLHs, particularly those most closely aligned with social model recovery principles.
研究表明，居住在戒毒和戒酒问题康复之家的人会有显著且持续的改善。然而，与结果相关的因素的信息有限。本研究探讨了一种康复之家，即清醒生活之家（SLH）的社会环境感知与居住时间（LOS）之间的关系。
SLH 居民及其房屋经理（N=416）完成了康复之家环境量表（RHES），该量表评估了社会模式康复特征和以社区为导向的项目评估量表（CPES），评估了对项目环境的感知。
居民完成的量表预测了 LOS，而房屋经理完成的量表则没有。两组之间较大的差异与 LOS 较短有关。RHES 被证明是 LOS 的更强预测因素，而 CPES 则不是。
结果强调了 SLH 中社会环境的重要性，特别是与社会模式康复原则最紧密一致的环境。
