Where You Live is Important to Recovery
Looking for recovery resources in your area? Stable housing is essential for many people on their substance use recovery journey. In Iowa, about one in three people in substance use treatment can't find housing.

A Safe Place to Live
A safe and stable home is key for lasting recovery from substance use and for well-being. Recovery housing supports all recovery stages. Some also offer help with jobs and mental health.
There are different types of recovery housing, including:
- Transitional housing for short-term stays (less than 6 months).
- Long-term housing for up to 2 years.
- Permanent supportive housing for ongoing assistance.
Recovery housing creates a caring community for people working toward their recovery goals.
