Recovery Housing Can Change Lives
A brief by the National Council for Behavioral Health summarized the positive outcomes for residents of recovery housing:

SAFE Project knows recovery housing needs more support. To be a part of the solution, SAFE Project provides education on quality recovery housing and the different types of recovery homes that exist. By doing this, we reduce stigma and help grow recovery communities throughout the nation.
