This aftercare study involved a sample of 270 criminally-justice involved individuals with substance use disorders, who were randomized either to self-help recovery homes, professionally led therapeutic communities, or a control condition. Subsequently, participants were then followed over two years providing multiple waves of data. The authors of this article concluded that those who had been assigned to the recovery home condition received more money from employment, worked more days, achieved higher continuous alcohol sobriety rates, and had more favorable cost–benefit ratios.
