Sober Living Facilities
QUESTION: A growing phenomenon in our community and others nearby is for operators to purchase homes to use as "sober living" facilities for individuals recovering from alcohol or drug issues. Can associations prohibit them?

ANSWER: Similar to day care homes for children, associations may not prohibit owners or tenants from operating an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility which serves six or fewer persons. Health & Safety Code §11834.23; see Sober Living Fact Sheet. The same is true for licensed non-medical alcohol and drug treatment facilities--homes that provide one or more of the following services: detoxification; educational sessions; and recovery or treatment planning.

See group care homes and day care centers.
