Recovery Housing in Focus: 
Standards, Safety, and SB 298

Recovery housing provides safe, stable living environments that support those in our communities who are in recovery from substance use disorder.

Whether you’re a recovery residence owner, staff member, resident, advocate, or simply curious about this work, this free event on February 4 will help you better understand:

• SB 298

• statewide certification standards for recovery housing
  
• how owners and operators can protect residents

There will be time for questions and open discussion, and the event will be recorded. Register today or download the flyer to promote the event locally.

What Clients Need to Know

All funding clients that are establishing with the Manchester Doorway will need to call in to schedule an intake appointment to receive funding. The new intake process will be a combination of completing consent paperwork, meeting with a clinician, and a case manager/certified peer recovery support worker.

Additionally, all clients must present with their certificate or letter of completion and a face sheet with their diagnosis codes. If this documentation is not provided, the client will be rescheduled once they obtain the necessary documentation.

We are modifying our process in an effort to better understand, and meet, the needs of our

clients so we can provide them with the best service possible."

Please prepare for recertification. March and April are high-volume months, and early preparation is strongly encouraged. To support this process, NHPRR has developed the following resources:

Streamline Your Recovery House Certification

Use this guide to prepare the documents required for recovery house certification. Documents with checkboxes must be uploaded individually in Certemy, while Leadership Handbook and Residents’ Handbook materials can be combined and uploaded together.

Streamline Your Recovery House Recertification

Many required documents are already maintained in your NHPRR certification file, but annual recertification includes specific items that must be reviewed and submitted again. This guide identifies those materials and helps you organize and upload the necessary information efficiently.

Direct support for recovery homes navigating certification

NHPRR offers a recurring weekly Zoom meeting to provide personal support for initial certification and recertification of recovery homes. Click or scan the QR code to the left to schedule a one-on-one meeting.

Download this checklist that walks recovery homes through what to expect during an NHPRR site visit and how to prepare in advance.

This document is designed as a checklist to help you prepare for your site visit by outlining key requirements related to safety, living spaces, policies, and documentation.

New Web Features on nhprr.com
