We are not a law firm, licensing consultant, certification body, treatment provider, or government agency, and nothing here is legal, medical, or clinical advice. Certification and licensing requirements change and vary by state and city; always confirm current requirements with your state's recovery residence affiliate or licensing agency before acting. We make no promises about certification, occupancy, income, or business results. A sober living home houses people at a vulnerable point in their lives; if you are not prepared to run it responsibly, this is not the business for you.
