Sober living in Nevada: no state license since 2023

Nevada used to license sober living homes as halfway houses. Assembly Bill 403 (2023) removed that licensing requirement and renamed them recovery houses. A recovery house still needs certification from the state Division of Public and Behavioral Health to receive public money, so ask whether a home is state-certified or accredited and get the answer in writing.

Treatment programs are different: Nevada licenses facilities for the treatment of alcohol or other substance use disorders under chapter 449 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Naloxone (Narcan)

Naloxone reverses an opioid overdose, and the FDA has allowed naloxone nasal spray to be sold without a prescription since 2023. The Southern Nevada Health District says free naloxone and overdose response training are available year-round to individuals and organizations. The district's main line is 702-759-1000; for overdose response training, email od@snhd.org.

Before you move into a sober home

• Is the home certified by the state or accredited by an outside body? Ask for proof.
• What does rent cover, what's due at move-in, and is any of it refundable?
• What are the house rules (curfew, chores, meetings, guests), and what happens after a relapse?
• How and how often is drug testing done?
• Does the home accept residents who take medication for addiction treatment, such as buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone?
• Can you read the written resident agreement before you pay?

Be wary of anyone who offers free rent, travel or cash to get you into a particular program. Paying or accepting kickbacks for referrals to recovery homes and treatment facilities is a federal crime (18 U.S.C. § 220).
