January 20, 2026: Overdose Vulnerability and Service Needs Among People Experiencing Homelessness
People experiencing homelessness (PEH) face high risk of opioid-associated deaths and face barriers when accessing treatment and other services. This webinar reviews findings from studies examining the experiences of PEH who use drugs in San Francisco. Discussion will focus on the role of housing in overdose prevention and treatment, and challenges experienced by PEH when accessing substance use prevention, care, and treatment services.
Presenter: Kelly Knight, PhD
February 17, 2026: The Role of Social Networks In Supporting Residents Taking MOUD In Recovery Housing Settings
Recovery homes can provide critical support for individuals taking Medications for Opiate Use Disorders (MOUD). This webinar presents findings from a study examining how Oxford House residents interact and support those on MOUD. Findings suggest that residents in Oxford Houses where a resident is on MOUD experience positive transformations in their social networks, illustrating how recovery communities can welcome and support those using this harm reduction strategy.
Presenters: Alexander J. Sikora, BS and Ted Bobak, PhD
March 17, 2026: Taking A Closer Look At "Relapse" And Factors Associated With It In Sober Living
Using data from sober living house residents participating in two longitudinal studies in Los Angeles, the webinar presents results from analyses examining whether lapses (any substance use) and relapses (return to regular use) have different risk and protective factors for SLH residents. Findings support differentiating responses to substance use by severity rather than applying uniform consequences, with implications for SLH policy and broader recovery settings.
Presenter: Liz Mahoney, MA
April 21, 2026: Examining Implementation of MOUD In Recovery Housing Through the Lens of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)
In addition to conceptual disagreement regarding how medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is understood in the context of recovery, recovery residences cite logistical challenges for residents using these medications as a barrier to their integration. Guided by the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR), this webinar presents findings from a study identifying factors affecting implementation of MOUD in recovery residences.
Presenter: Cindy Nichols, PhD, LCSW, LADC
May 19, 2026: MOUD Utilization Among Philadelphia Recovery Home Residents
Combining primary data from recovery home operators and Medicaid claims data, this webinar presents findings from a pilot study describing the inner contextual factors related to resident MOUD use. Findings also characterize residents’ MOUD utilization patterns during their first 90 days and examine associations between resident MOUD use and recovery home organizational factors.
Presenter: Jennifer Miles, PhD
June 16, 2026: Tobacco Use in Recovery Housing: Determinants, Policies, and Opportunities for Cessation Implementation
People living in recovery housing use tobacco at rates far higher than the general population, yet these settings have been largely overlooked in tobacco control research. This presentation examines why recovery homes represent a critical setting for tobacco cessation interventions. Drawing on qualitative findings from residents and staff, and survey data from a nationally representative study of recovery homes, the session will highlight key organizational and cultural determinants of tobacco use, existing policies and practices, and gaps in policies supporting cessation. Discussion will focus on opportunities to integrate tobacco cessation into recovery housing, anticipated barriers and facilitators to implementation, and emerging research priorities to guide future intervention and policy development.
Presenter: Niles Zoschke, DrPH, MPH
July 21, 2026: Cannabis Use Among Sober Living House Residents
Sober living houses (SLHs) have historically been abstinence-based environments, yet some evidence suggests that cannabis may be a safer substitute for other drugs. Further, the evolving legal landscape around cannabis use has left SLH operators in a difficult position regarding cannabis use among residents. This webinar presents findings from a study examining how cannabis use relates to alcohol use, other drug use, and related problems among SLH residents.
Presenter: Meenakshi Subbaraman, PhD
