Residing in a safe and stable, drug and alcohol-free living environment is often critical to achieving and maintaining recovery from a substance use disorder. Research shows that SUD treatment outcomes are better for clients, particularly those who experience chronic homelessness, when they are stably housed. People with SUDs need access to safe, stable, and supportive living environments to help them initiate and sustain their recovery and reduce the risk of relapse. Recovery Bridge Housing (RBH) is a type of recovery-oriented, peer-supported housing that provides a safe interim housing environment for individuals who are homeless, according to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and are considered unstably housed. Clients in RBH need to also be concurrently enrolled in treatment, such as OP LOC ASAM 1.0 or IOP LOC ASAM 2.1.
