Providing stable housing helps people recover from substance use disorder

People experiencing substance use disorder and their families may be in need of safe, supportive recovery housing during their recovery journey due to limited financial means, unemployment or unstable employment and limited healthy social support systems. 

Recovery housing provides a stable environment where people can focus on their recovery through encouraging peer support, personal growth, and long-term recovery skills.

Recovery Housing Certification

To support people in recovery, VTARR established standards and a fair and transparent certification process. Certified recovery residences provide safe, ethical and nurturing housing for people in recovery.
