WHAT IS CERTIFIED RECOVERY HOUSING?

Certified Recovery Housing (CRH) and Sober Living are both types of supportive living environments for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders. These environments provide a structured and sober setting where residents can focus on maintaining their sobriety and rebuilding their lives. Both CRH and Sober Living adhere to standards set forth by organizations like the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR).

Delaware’s first major bill is House Bill 114, the act is known as the “ Matthew D. Klosowki Act,” which prohibits non-certified recovery residences from accessing state funds. This would establish standards for recovery houses to become certified. The certification would carry additional privileges for such homes and enable individuals in recovery and loved ones assisting them to more easily find safe and reliable recovery housing placements.
