Social support is a resource frequently utilized by persons recovering from substance use disorders. However, little is known about the effects of social support among persons utilizing medication-assisted treatments (MATs) living in abstinence-based recovery homes. The present investigation examined whether social support would mediate the relationship between stress and two recovery outcomes (quality of life and abstinence self-efficacy) among a sample of residents living in Oxford House abstinence-based recovery homes in the U.S. Moderated mediational analyses were conducted to test whether potential mediating effects were influenced by whether residents were (or were not) utilizing MATs. Mediating effects were observed in both models, and these were not moderated by residents’ MAT status. Findings suggest abstinence-based recovery homes such as Oxford Houses provide valuable social support that helps persons utilizing MATs in their recovery.
