Illicit Drug and Alcohol Screening in Recovery Housing

All recovery homes are required to be free from illicit drugs and alcohol. Residents agree that they will not use or possess alcohol or illicit substances at any time, on or off the recovery housing property.  Having an effective process for screening ensures that you are maintaining this environment and that residents are held accountable for their commitment to not use illicit substances or alcohol while they are living in the home.

Objectives
  • Learn the importance of having clear and consistent policies related to screenings
  • Understand the requirements to demonstrate that your program meets national quality standards related to illicit drug and alcohol screening and
  • Create a written process for maintaining your policy consistently over time
