Depending on what state you live in, there is a wide variation in what the words “sober living” or “recovery residences” are. For example, here in Louisiana there are no standards, certifications, or licenses required to open a sober home. In Florida you can’t even think about opening a sober home without permission from the governing certification agency FARR, who from what I understand has federal agents on standby to shut down any home without permission.
