This is another category where accreditation matters as much as availability. You are encouraged to ask any sober living home for current documentation of NARR (or state-affiliate) certification before moving in or referring someone. Certification isn’t a guarantee of quality, but an uncertified home has not been independently inspected against any standard at all which is a meaningfully different risk worth flagging explicitly on the page.
