Learning Event Support: Wisconsin Recovery Housing Huddle Up

Project Description Narrative:

Access to recovery-oriented residential opportunities and programs is highly correlated with successfully sustaining long term recovery from substance use disorders. The opioid crisis has increased both the demand for and interest in providing residential recovery options. However, establishing recovery residences depends upon individuals and organizations using effective financial, program, and operational models.

Through Learning Event Support funding, the learning event will provide an opportunity for individuals who refer, support and work with persons affected by substance use disorders to learn about the ethical, operational, and programmatic best practices in recovery residences that support long term recovery from substance use disorders. The Wisconsin Recovery Housing Huddle Up will support participants by sharing evidence-based practices that support recovery in residential settings, introducing ethical, operational, and programmatic standards based on national models, facilitating peer-to-peer learning about strategies and approaches to overcome challenges, and increasing knowledge about the types of and models for recovery residences
