Alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment programs and facilities: disclosures.
- Requires recovery homes that provide services beyond basic housing to register with state health officials.
- Mandates treatment facilities to disclose any financial interests in recovery residences.
- Authorizes officials to suspend licenses of facilities that fail to report required information.
- Enables referral of complaints about recovery homes to state and federal enforcement agencies.
Assembly Member Davies proposes new registration requirements for business-operated recovery residences in California, expanding state oversight of facilities that provide substance use disorder recovery housing and additional services. The legislation amends existing Health and Safety Code provisions that govern disclosures by certified alcohol and drug treatment programs.
Under the proposed changes, recovery residences that provide multiple services beyond basic housing - such as drug testing, supervision, transportation, or meal preparation - must register their locations with the Department of Health Care Services. The bill defines these as "business-operated recovery residences" when they serve multiple occupants and receive compensation for these additional services. This registration requirement adds to existing rules that mandate treatment facilities disclose any financial interests in or contractual relationships with recovery residences.
The Department maintains authority to suspend or revoke certifications of programs that fail to meet disclosure requirements and can refer complaints about recovery residences to other enforcement entities, including state and federal authorities. The legislation preserves current definitions of recovery residences as residential dwellings offering cooperative living arrangements supporting substance use disorder recovery, while creating this new subcategory of business-operated facilities subject to registration mandates.
