Sober House Certification in Maine

Maine’s sober houses are certified by the Maine Association of Recovery Residences or MARR. MARR follows NARR’s national-level sober house certification protocols. Sober House Directory provides information on sober house certification for each state in the database.

For sober living to be certified by MARR, the operators must adhere to a set of strict criteria to meet the standards to be a certified sober house or certified sober living facility. These certification requirements include operator training, sober home inspections, recovery residence policies and procedures, and document review. Residents in a Maine-certified sober house can expect better service from a certified recovery residence than a sober house that is not certified. All state-level recovery residence certification organizations follow the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, or NARR, standards for sober living certification. NARR is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to promote quality sober living recovery residences in Maine as well as across the United States.
