Recovery homes help individuals who have completed substance use treatment programs re‐integrate back into the community. However, it is unclear what factors determine who will succeed in these settings and how these factors may be reinforced or undermined by the social interactions and social networks between residents living in the Oxford House recovery homes. In an effort to better understand these factors, the current study evaluated (a) the extent to which the density of social networks (i.e., friendship, willingness to loan money, and advice‐seeking relationships) is associated with social capital (i.e., sense of community, quality of life, hopefulness, self‐efficacy), and (b) whether the density of social networks predicts relapse over time. Among the findings, willingness to loan money was positively associated with all four individual‐level social capital variables, suggesting that availability of instrumental resources may be important to ongoing recovery. To test whether these house‐level social network factors then support recovery, a survival analysis was conducted, finding associations between relapse risk and the network densities over a 28‐month span. In particular, more dense advice‐seeking networks were associated with higher rates of relapse, suggesting that the advice‐seeking might represent a sign of organisational house problems, with many residents unsure of issues related to their recovery. In contrast, more dense loaning networks were associated with less relapse, so willingness to lend money could be measuring a willingness to help those in need. The implications of these findings are discussed.

与康复之家复发相关的咨询和贷款


康复之家帮助完成药物滥用治疗计划的个人重新融入社区。然而，目前尚不清楚哪些因素决定谁将在这些环境中取得成功，以及住在牛津之家康复之家的居民之间的社交互动和社交网络如何加强或削弱这些因素。为了更好地理解这些因素，当前的研究评估了（a）社交网络的密度（即友谊、贷款意愿和寻求建议的关系）与社会资本（即感觉（b）社交网络的密度是否可以预测随着时间的推移复发。研究结果显示，贷款意愿与所有四个个人层面的社会资本变量呈正相关，这表明工具资源的可用性可能对持续复苏很重要。为了测试这些家庭层面的社交网络因素是否支持康复，进行了生存分析，发现了 28 个月内复发风险与网络密度之间的关联。特别是，更密集的咨询网络与更高的复发率相关，这表明咨询可能代表了组织内部问题的迹象，许多居民不确定与他们的康复相关的问题。相比之下，更密集的贷款网络与更少的复发相关，因此借钱的意愿可以衡量帮助有需要的人的意愿。讨论了这些发现的含义。
