Who Benefits from Permanent Supportive Recovery Housing?
Permanent supportive housing can positively impact these alarming statistics and can reduce health care and incarceration costs in the long-term.
We believe that long-term recovery is enhanced by or thru long-term treatment.
The Supportive Recovery Housing model meets national standards (Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing) and provides long-term recovery support job training, and education for individuals with SUD who are:
a. Completing rehabilitation program(s) and in need of ongoing support to build and sustain long-term recovery
b. living unsheltered and in need of recovery housing in order to engage in recovery
c. re-entering the community from the criminal justice system
d. participating in drug courts
e. diverting from the criminal justice system for SUD treatment and related support services.
