The Recovery Project connects your sober living home with case managers, probation officers, counselors, and treatment programs — and with the people searching for housing themselves. Start free.

For anyone deciding whether to open a sober living home — and anyone already running one.
Chapter One is “Should You Even Open This” — because that's the decision everything else rests on. From there: federal and state rules, fire and zoning, business structure, choosing the property, house rules, intake and the hard exits, money in and money out, staffing, and scaling without losing what made it work.
The legal chapters won't hand you rules that go stale the day they're printed. They teach you how to find the current answer yourself — and how to recognize when you need an attorney instead of a search engine.
