Recovery Housing Information What is a Recovery Residence? A "recovery residence" (RR) is a broad term describing a sober, safe, and healthy living environment that promotes recovery from alcohol substance misuse and associated issues. The purpose of a recovery residence is to provide a safe and healthy living environment, as well as improve one's physical, mental, spiritual, and social wellbeing. Recovery residences are divided into different levels of support. The levels are based on the type, as well as the intensity and duration, of support the residence offers. Services span from peer-to-peer recovery support (all recovery residences) to medical and counseling services (at recovery residences offering higher levels of support).
