同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者（MSM）面临着独特的康复挑战。恢复性住房可能在改善男同性恋者的治疗结果方面发挥重要作用，但人们对他们在这些环境中的经历知之甚少。方法本研究调查了生活在德克萨斯州一组康复住宅中的男同性恋者（N= 22）的3个月的结果，其中一个是专门为同性恋和双性恋男性指定的家庭。一开始，成年男男性接触者就被招募来参与研究，这包括一个基线和3个月的电话访谈，并允许研究人员查阅项目保存的有关他们逗留期间的记录。结果在随访中，仅有2名（9.1%）报告在过去30天内使用过任何药物。绝大多数人（73%）在过去三个月内参加了门诊药物使用治疗，86%的人报告在过去30天内从事有偿工作。所有参与者都报告在过去30天内参加了四次或更多的12步会议。然而，功能失调应对策略的使用显著减少，与健康相关的生活质量得分也显著降低。结论smsm患者治疗需求复杂。康复住房可以通过将正式的药物使用治疗与社区康复支持联系起来，帮助改善男男性行为者的结果。
BackgroundGay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) face unique recovery challenges. Recovery housing may play an important role in improving outcomes among MSM, but little is known about their experiences in these settings.MethodsThis study examined 3-month outcomes among MSM (N= 22) living in a group of recovery residences in Texas, one of which is a home specifically designated for gay and bisexual men. Upon intake, adult MSM were recruited to participate in the study, which involved a baseline and 3-month phone interview and allowing study staff to access records maintained by the program about their stay.ResultsAt follow-up, only two (9.1%) reported used of any substances in the past 30 days. The vast majority (73%) had attended outpatient substance use treatment in the past three months, and 86% reported working for pay during the past 30 days. All participants reported attending four or more 12-step meetings in the past 30 days. Use of dysfunctional coping strategies significantly decreased, however, so did scores on health-related quality of life.ConclusionsMSM have complex treatment needs. Recovery housing may help improve outcomes among MSM by bridging formal substance use treatment with community-based recovery support.
