Recovery housing provides substance-free living environments that use peer-support to empower individuals in recovery from substance use disorder. This study estimated the total revenue of the recovery housing industry from recovery houses, nationwide. Using survey data collected in June and July of 2020, we calculate the total revenue of the recovery housing industry and determine the share of revenue that comes from different sources for rural and nonrural houses. We find that individual recovery houses operate with an annual revenue of $250,000 and the whole industry accounts for $4.5 billion annually. COVID-19 has reduced industry revenue by 4%. Rural and nonrural houses differ significantly in their sources of revenue. Our results suggest that COVID-19 reduced the size of the recovery housing industry. Houses in nonrural regions may need more federal support due to the relatively high reliance on resident fees, which may be unreliable during COVID-19.
康复之家为那些受药物滥用困扰的人们提供无毒品的生活环境，同时利用同伴支持来帮助他们康复。本研究旨在估算全国范围内康复之家产业的总收入。我们使用 2020 年 6 月和 7 月收集的调查数据，计算了康复之家产业的总收入，并确定了农村和非农村房屋的不同收入来源的收入份额。我们发现，单个康复之家的年收入为 25 万美元，整个行业的年收入为 45 亿美元。COVID-19 使行业收入减少了 4%。农村和非农村房屋在收入来源上存在显著差异。我们的研究结果表明，COVID-19 已经减少了康复之家产业的规模。由于相对依赖居民费用，非农村地区的房屋可能需要更多的联邦支持，而这些费用在 COVID-19 期间可能不可靠。
