Their work has directly contributed to the improvement of recovery housing standards nationwide, ensuring that those in need have access to the resources and support they require to successfully rebuild their lives.
HISTORY
The National Alliance for Recovery Residences was established in 2011 by a group of committed professionals and recovery advocates who recognized the critical need for quality, affordable recovery housing in the United States.
With the opioid epidemic on the rise and millions of Americans affected by addiction, it was evident that there was a significant gap in available resources for those seeking to rebuild their lives in recovery. NARR was born out of a determination to fill that gap and provide a comprehensive support system for those in need.
