FARR's 3 Pillars of Recovery Housing
Community, and particularly housing, plays a crucial role in recovery. Safe, supportive housing provides the stability needed for individuals to achieve long-term sobriety. FARR-certified residences ensure that those in recovery have access to environments that promote safety, compliance, and peer support.
SAFE
Certified homes provide a structured, secure environment where residents can focus on their recovery journey without distractions.
SUPPORTIVE
Residents receive peer support, accountability, and community engagement, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
STABLE
Recovery residences offer a consistent, stable environment, essential for long-term sobriety and personal growth.
