AI Article Synopsis
- Recovery housing offers substance-free environments and peer support for individuals recovering from substance use disorder.
- The recovery housing industry has an annual revenue of $4.5 billion, with individual recovery houses generating around $250,000 each, but revenue decreased by 4% due to COVID-19.
- Rural and nonrural recovery houses exhibit significant differences in revenue sources; nonrural houses may require more federal assistance because they rely heavily on resident fees, which are unstable during the pandemic.
Article Abstract
Recovery housing provides substance-free living environments that use peer-support to empower individuals in recovery from substance use disorder. This study estimated the total revenue of the recovery housing industry from recovery houses, nationwide. Using survey data collected in June and July of 2020, we calculate the total revenue of the recovery housing industry and determine the share of revenue that comes from different sources for rural and nonrural houses. We find that individual recovery houses operate with an annual revenue of $250,000 and the whole industry accounts for $4.5 billion annually. COVID-19 has reduced industry revenue by 4%. Rural and nonrural houses differ significantly in their sources of revenue. Our results suggest that COVID-19 reduced the size of the recovery housing industry. Houses in nonrural regions may need more federal support due to the relatively high reliance on resident fees, which may be unreliable during COVID-19.
