Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities serving adults by the State Department of Health Care Services, as prescribed. This bill would authorize a city, county, or city and county to enact an ordinance to register structured sober living homes, consistent with specified state and federal law, and with specified exclusions. The bill would define a structured sober living home as any premises, place, or building that provides groups of unrelated adults recovering from drug or alcohol addiction with alcohol‑free and drug‑free housing, promotes independent living and life skill development, and provides structured activities that are directed primarily toward recovery from substance use disorders in a supervised setting. The bill would specify registration and other requirements applicable to structured sober living homes. A structured sober living home, as defined by and registered pursuant to the bill, would not be subject to existing state licensure and regulation requirements for alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities. The bill would provide that it does not establish a new category of state-licensed facility, or otherwise authorize a structured sober living home registered pursuant to an ordinance adopted under the bill to provide any service for which a license is required by state law.
