The document describes the Social Model Philosophy Scale (SMPS), a 33-item assessment tool developed by the Alcohol Research Group to measure the underlying philosophies of substance abuse treatment programs. The SMPS evaluates programs across six domains: physical environment, leadership role, authority base, views on addressing addiction, governance, and community orientation. These domains focus on creating a supportive recovery environment where residents feel responsible for their own progress and leaders act as peers rather than directors.

The Social Model Philosophy Scale (SMRS) was designed by the Alcohol Research Group at the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, California to differentiate underlying philosophies of alcohol and drug programs. The SMPS is a 33-item scale that provides a quick, effective tool for determining where on the continuum of social model techniques a particular program rests. The SMPS has six domains: physical environment, leadership role, authority base, view of dealing with alcohol problems, governance, and community orientation. There are six domains of interest for sober living house family leaders: 1. Physical environment. The environment and interactions allows the participants to feel a connection to and responsibility for their own recovery on the site. 2. Operators mingle with the participants as peers and role models rather than as (distant) directors, managers, educators or therapists. Operators encourage participants to take responsibility for their own recovery and give priority for the maintenance of the environment. 3. Authority base. Operators are usually in recovery. The belief is that recovery from alcohol and drug problems imparts experiential knowledge, an invaluable resource upon which participants may draw; and professional knowledge is not valued above the experiential. 4. View of dealing with alcohol problems. Family residents need to agree to take responsibility for their own recovery; and understand that addiction is only part of the problem. Operators are aware of community activities and resources and are able to share their information with participants. 5. Self Governance. Resident family members learn how to take responsibility for their own sobriety and for the security of their environments. Participants have a voice in the design and enforcement of program rules. This allows participants to feel a personal investment in the program and their own recovery and also gives them the opportunity to gain decision-making skills. 6. Community orientation. Sober living houses seek not only to provide recovery support but also to integrate with community resources and to participate in facilitating addition recovery-promoting resources.
