Recovery Housing Residences Registration Form Due Nov. 3
Under Ohio Revised Code (O.R.C.) 5119.391, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is required to monitor the establishment of recovery housing residences in Ohio. The statute defines a recovery housing residence as “a residence for individuals recovering from alcohol use disorder or drug addiction that provides an alcohol-free and drug-free living environment, peer support, assistance with obtaining alcohol and drug addiction services, and other recovery assistance for alcohol use disorder and drug addiction.”
To assist OhioMHAS with this monitoring function, O.R.C. 5119.391 requires each person or government entity that will operate a recovery housing residence on or after Oct. 3, 2023, including any recovery housing residence that was established and in operation prior to that date, to file with OhioMHAS a registration form. The due date for filing the form is Nov. 3 for all recovery residences that began operation prior to Oct. 3, 2023.
