Recovery Houses

Recovery Houses are drug- and alcohol-free residences where individuals can recover from substance use disorder in a safe and supportive environment. Recovery houses charge rent and are not covered by insurance, as they are not considered medical treatment.

Licensing Guidelines

As of July 1, 2022, it is required by law that any state-funded facility making recovery house referrals must refer to recovery houses that are licensed by the Department of Drug & Alcohol Programs (DDAP). A “state-funded facility” is any facility that receives any type of funding from a state agency. Compass Mark receives funding in this way, and therefore offers this list of fully licensed recovery houses, below.
