Substance abuse: alcoholism and drugs.

Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services to license and regulate alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities serving adults. Existing law also defines a "recovery residence" as a residential dwelling that provides primary housing for individuals who seek a cooperative living arrangement that supports personal recovery from a substance use disorder and that does not require licensure pursuant to those provisions or does not provide licensable services. Existing law requires a government entity that contracts with a privately owned recovery residence to provide recovery services or with an alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility to require the contractor to maintain specified insurance coverages. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
