摘要
Objective: The prevalence of substance use disorder among Latinx people is rising, and this group has been historically underserved in treatment efforts. Interventions that might be the most effective with this population may incorporate protective factors, including familism, strong interpersonal relationships, resilience, and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) affiliation. The current study explored potential differences in the experiences and outcomes of Latinx versus non-Latinx residents of democratically run recovery homes called Oxford Houses in the United States. Methods: Data were collected from 42 Oxford Houses among 627 residents over a two-year period. Results: Compared to non-Latinx residents, Latinx residents were significantly more likely to have higher levels of friendship, advice seeking, self-esteem, and AA affiliation. Conclusion: These findings suggest that Oxford House recovery homes are important community-based resources for Latinx individuals in recovery.
