Length of Stay, Social Support, and Sex Differences in Recovery E. Garrity & L. Jason Data File.sav

The Oxford House model is an expanding network of sober-living houses that aid individuals struggling with substance use disorders. Research exploring sober-living environments can be essential in understanding the factors that relate to sustained addiction recovery. This study examined whether sex differences were present within the relationship between perceived social support and recovery outcomes. This study also investigated whether length of stay within a recovery home mediated the relationship between perceived social support and one’s recovery outcomes. 352 Oxford House residents, from recovery homes in North Carolina, Texas, and Oregon, participated in the following study. Participants ranged from ages 18-70 (<i>M</i> = 37.54, <i>SD</i> = 10.74), where 52% of respondents disclosed their biological sex as male and 48% disclosed their biological sex as female.
