Abstract
This study investigated levels of abstinence social support and abstinence self-efficacy in relation to characteristics among recovering substance abusers (57 men, 43 women) residing in Oxford Houses. Significant relationships between treatment and sociodemographic variables were observed on measures of abstinence social support and abstinence self-efficacy. Residence time in an Oxford House and 12-step participation were related to increased levels of abstinence social support and abstinence self-efficacy. However, residents who reported that their veteran status or prior incarceration experiences were issues they perceived as making identification with other recovering peers difficult reported lower levels of abstinence social support. In addition, residents who reported having at least one identification issue (57%) and residents who reported being a parent (73%) also reported lower levels of abstinence self-efficacy. Results of this study have important treatment implications for our understanding of social support and self-efficacy within ongoing recovery.
