Single State Agencies (SSAs) are responsible for managing the publicly funded alcohol and other drug prevention, treatment, and recovery service system. Recovery housing (RH) is an important recovery support service (RSS) for individuals experiencing substance use disorder (SUD). Despite its effectiveness, information on state utilization and support is limited. To assess state-level support for RH and its incorporation within the SSA-managed SUD service systems, we administered a survey with SSAs in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. In total, 48 out of the 51 SSAs responded, yielding a 94% response rate. Findings indicate strong state-level support for RH in terms of it being an integral RSS (98%), part of state-level strategic plans (73%) and prioritized for funding (87.5%). States are making progress to formalize RH with 68% reporting RH had been defined formally or within their agency. However, activities around understanding the capacity and need for RH are limited, with 44% indicating a needs assessment had not been conducted. At the same time, states perceive RH as a priority RSS, with growing recognition of its positive impact on long-term SUD recovery. This research identifies the opportunities for stakeholders to further evolve and expand RH at the federal, state, and local levels.
单一州机构（SSA）负责管理公共资助的酒精和其他药物预防、治疗和康复服务系统。康复住房（RH）是为患有物质使用障碍（SUD）的个人提供的重要康复支持服务（RSS）。尽管它很有效，但关于州级利用和支持的信息有限。为了评估 RH 在州一级的支持情况及其在 SSA 管理的 SUD 服务系统中的纳入情况，我们对美国 50 个州和哥伦比亚特区的 SSA 进行了一项调查。共有 51 个 SSA 中的 48 个做出了回应，回应率为 94%。调查结果表明，州一级对 RH 的支持力度很强，认为它是一种不可或缺的 RSS（98%）、州级战略计划的一部分（73%）和优先供资的项目（87.5%）。各州正在努力使 RH 正式化，68%的州报告称 RH 已经正式确定或在其机构内确定。然而，围绕了解 RH 的能力和需求的活动有限，有 44%的州表示尚未进行需求评估。与此同时，各州认为 RH 是一种优先 RSS，越来越认识到它对 SUD 长期康复的积极影响。这项研究确定了利益相关者在联邦、州和地方各级进一步发展和扩大 RH 的机会。
