Staffing: Training

There is no requirement that staff receive specific training or certification prior to working in recovery housing. However, once hired, all staff should be educated about the Social Model of Recovery, the disease of addiction and the recovery process. They should also receive training specific to your recovery home policies and procedures.

Annual reviews should occur with staff at a minimum.
