• Day-1: Fundamentals of Being a Recovery House Manager – Although there can be a great deal of variability across recovery housing, all of them are founded on social model recovery principles. Often contrasted with clinical or medical model approaches, social model focuses on the socio-cultural elements of addiction recovery and builds recovery capital.

By completing this training, participants will be able to:
  • List 6 social model characteristics
  • Identify social model philosophies reflected in the NARR standard 
  • Discuss how policies and procedures can support social model recovery

• Day-2: Onsite Risk Assessment and Management of Recovery Residences – The day-to-day demands on recovery residence owners, operators and staff tend to focus their attention on resident needs and sustainability, which can leave them vulnerable to various liabilities.

  • Conduct an onsite risk assessment of a recovery residence
  • Develop policies and procedures to manage or minimize onsite risks
