Amy Mericle Talks About the Importance of the NSTARR Project

July 14, 2021 by

With a background in addiction health services research, PI Amy Mericle, PhD, leads the project and in this video discusses the significance and importance of collecting data on recovery residences.


The National Study of Treatment and Addiction Recovery Residences (NSTARR) is the largest and most diverse study of recovery housing to date, laying the groundwork for observing this important component of the housing, treatment, and recovery support services landscape.

NSTARR will facilitate future research on recovery residences:  large-scale national studies of recovery residences; comparative effectiveness studies, and cost-effectiveness studies of different types of recovery residences; studies identifying which sort of recovery residence works best for whom; and studies of policies and organizational practices that increase recovery housing access and utilization.
