Opioids
Safe and stable housing is critical to recovery from alcohol and drug use disorders, and recovery housing represents a unique, innovative way to ensure that individuals in recovery have access to housing that facilitates recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. However, people who use medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) face a number of obstacles in accessing recovery housing, while providers experience challenges in addressing the needs of individuals receiving MOUD.
The NIDA-funded Infrastructure for Studying Treatment & Addiction Recovery Residences (I-STARR) project addresses these obstacles and challenges. Launched by PHI’s Alcohol Research Group and partners, the project offers funding, training, and mentorship for investigators new to recovery housing research to conduct small research projects in this general area.

Upcoming Webinar:
Expanding the Impact of Pharmacy Services by Integrating them with Recovery Housing | December 16, 2025 | 11am-12pm PT
Recovery housing may be a critical resource for those initiating and/or sustaining treatment involving MOUD. Yet despite its potential, recovery housing remains understudied, including within community pharmacy systems, where a majority of individuals who receive MOUD could benefit from resources concerning recovery housing, potentially leveraging the direct patient relationships between pharmacists and their patients. This webinar presents findings from a mixed-methods study collecting data from mobile pharmacy patients with OUD and community pharmacists regarding their awareness of and experiences with recovery housing.
