Managed-Level Recovery Housing Certification Explained

Ohio Recovery Housing is the state's NARR affiliate, and since the start of 2026 its certification and the state recovery-housing registry have been one list. A certified residence commits in writing to a code of ethics, discloses fees and house rules before move-in, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and answers to a complaint process outside the house. Managed describes peer-run housing with staff oversight and structured daily expectations, with clinical care left to outside providers.
