Louisiana has very little oversight over sober living homes, Kentucky is in the process of expanding regulations, and Oregon is likely to see increased recovery residence regulation in the near future.
North Carolina has no state-level requirement that stipulates that money may not be spent towards religious, abstinence-only programs that do not accept residents who use Medication Assisted Treatment medications, like methadone or suboxone.
Opening a sober living home in Kentucky is much easier than it is in most states in the country. The overall lack of regulation, coupled with some very pro-sober living home laws, make it an ideal location for operators who don’t enjoy working with a lot of red tape.
