“…A previous Brazilian study evaluated users of psychoactive substances (N=69) who could live in an SLRH for up to 6 months and observed that half of them were employed during the interviews.

Based on these factors, some studies recommended that future interventions should be adapted to improve acceptability by female populations, enhance help-seeking behaviors, and focus more on specific substance use patterns per setting.…”

“…Only three studies explicitly discussed any influence of policies or governments on the planning, implementation, and/or outcomes of the interventions. In the first study, the Brazilian ‘recovery housing’ intervention was introduced as a government-funded program in response to the “growing public health and social security issue” of substance abuse in the country [ 87 ]. Moreover, a policy-related barrier discussed in the ‘recovery housing’ intervention was that most participants were not eligible to receive government benefits because of local law arrangements [ 87 ].…”
