The exit from active substance use presents barriers to achieving and maintaining health, especially as individuals lack the economic resources to afford healthcare access. Treatment settings that strengthen resources may support stability in recovery and influence health. Analyzing a sample of recovery home residents over two years (N = 494), the current study assessed individually held resources (e.g., wages, employment) and the average economic conditions of a resident's house (e.g., house employment rate) to understand their association with self-reported health status. Employment status, but not wages or transportation access, was associated with reported health scores. The average employment rate of a recovery home was also positively correlated with the health of its residents. Results indicate the need to address employment and other economic issues which plague recovering individuals. Community aftercare settings may offer such a pathway through affordable housing, employment opportunities, and supportive relationships.
戒除活性物质使用对实现和维持健康构成障碍，尤其是当个人缺乏经济资源来负担医疗保健服务时。加强资源的治疗环境可能有助于康复的稳定性并影响健康。本研究对两年内494名康复之家居民的样本进行分析，评估个人拥有的资源（如工资、就业情况）以及居民住所的平均经济状况（如住所就业率），以了解它们与自我报告的健康状况之间的关联。就业状况而非工资或交通便利性与报告的健康得分相关。康复之家的平均就业率也与居民的健康呈正相关。结果表明需要解决困扰康复者的就业和其他经济问题。社区后续照护环境可能通过经济适用房、就业机会和支持性人际关系提供这样一条途径。
