Certification Matters in Arizona
Arizona recovery residences can be certified through AzRHA (the Arizona Recovery Housing Association), the state's NARR affiliate. Certification is especially worth prioritizing in Arizona: the state has worked to strengthen oversight of recovery housing after past concerns about unethical operators. Choosing an AzRHA-certified home is one of the best ways to protect yourself. Our guide to NARR certification explains what certification actually means.
What to Expect
Arizona homes follow the same fundamentals as recovery housing everywhere — sobriety, drug testing, curfews, chores, and meeting attendance. Review our guide to sober living house rules so you know what to expect before moving in.
