NationalDrugControlStrategy • The President’s science-based plan to reform drug policy: • Prevent drug use before it ever begins through education • Expand access to treatment for Americans struggling with addiction • Reform our criminal justice system • Support Americans in recovery • Coordinated Federal effort on 112 action items • Signature initiatives: • Prescription Drug Abuse • Prevention • Drugged Driving

  4. The Need • In 2013, 21.6 million Americans aged 12 or older had a past year substance use disorder.1 • More than 1 of 3 (17.3 percent) young adults aged 18 to 25 had a past year substance use disorder.1 • Long “addiction careers,” multiple episodes of treatment, and a median of nine years from first contact with public treatment system to one year of abstinence.2 • Overdose epidemic: More than 38,000 drug overdose deaths in 2010, approximately 22,000 involving RX drugs (76 percent of RX overdoses from opioids).3 1 SAMHSA (2014).

  6. SAMHSA Recovery Framework Recovery Housing Supports All Four SAMHSA Dimensions of Recovery Dimensions of Recovery 1. Health: overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms—for example, abstaining from use of alcohol, illicit drugs, and non-prescribed medications … making informed, healthy choices. 2. Home: a stable place to live. 3. Purpose: meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, and the independence, income and resources to participate in society. 4. Community: relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope. Source of SAMHSA Dimensions: http://blog.samhsa.gov/2012/03/23/defintion-of-recovery-updated/

  7. What We Need to Know • What recovery housing (RH) models are currently in use? • What is the best way of classifying models for practical/clinical and research purposes? • What is the relative effectiveness of various RH models? • Can models be matched with populations? • What is the relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of RH offered in conjunction with various other services? • Is there a relationship between how RH is paid for and its effectiveness? • What our options for creating recovery housing in federally subsidized settings, such as public housing authorities.

  8. Challenges • Developing local & municipal government partners, communities, and neighborhoods. • Standards: • Staffing, physical plant/safety (building code), siting/zoning, owner operator requirements • Cost/reimbursement • NIMBYism • Expanding partnerships with CJS, state and local substance abuse and mental health authorities, and segments of health care system. • Developing and evaluating public and private reimbursement mechanisms. • Leveraging Federal housing programs to expand capacity. • Integrating people in medication-assisted treatment.
