Webinar Series: Infrastructure for Studying Treatment & Addiction Recovery Residences

Training for Recovery Residence Operators

Nine webinars in the training component targeted to recovery housing providers (e.g., operators, owners, and house managers) will be focused on topics related to operations and management of recovery residences. These webinars serve as a primer on: the recovery housing environment and recovery supports; recovery residence management and operations; resident policies; as well as laws, ethics, and fiscal responsibilities. Four webinars for recovery housing providers will focus specifically on topics related to MOUD in different types of recovery residences. These webinars will review issues raised and changes that providers may need to consider when accepting residents on MOUD, issues that need to be considered with respect to resident screening policies and procedures, strategies residences can implement to mitigate diversion risk and create a safe and supportive environment for residents and staff, and examples of programs where prescribers and recovery housing staff have learned to work more closely together to support MOUD in recovery housing.

Upcoming Webinar:

Establishing an Evidence Base for MOUD in Recovery Housing | May 7, 2024 | 11am–12pm PT

This webinar reviews key challenges discussed throughout the webinar series and presents suggestions on how to move research forward on MOUD in recovery housing.

Training for Researchers

A parallel track of nine webinars will target junior investigators as well as those who may be more established but new to recovery housing research. These webinars will be largely methods-based with the first serving as a primer on experimental and quasi-experimental designs and review of the advantages and challenges involved in each regarding recovery housing research.

Subsequent webinars will focus on identifying, recruiting, and collaborating with recovery housing providers and the principles of community-based participatory research (respectively); recruitment and tracking of recovery home residents; data collection and measurement; reviewing theories about recovery housing mechanisms of action and measurement; statistical techniques; strengthening causal inference within quasi-experimental designs; review of the fundamentals basics of multilevel modeling; and challenges faced by recovery residence operators in meeting the needs of their residents, particularly those on MOUD.
