The proliferation of drug and alcohol recovery homes in Prescott is of major concern to our community and has been for the past decade. In conjunction with, and in anticipation of passage of Representative Noel Campbell’s H.B. 2107 to regulate structured sober living recovery homes, the City of Prescott is implementing its own plans to improve the health, safety and welfare of clients in these homes. These plans will not only improve the chances for successful treatment and recovery for people with addictions, they will also help to reduce neighborhood complaints from residents living near these recovery homes. The provisions of Rep. Campbell’s three-page bill can be viewed at www.azleg.gov. Once at this page, enter 2107 in the “bill number search” box located in the upper right hand corner.
As it stands now, the recovery home industry is largely unregulated. And it is not possible for our city zoning ordinances alone to ensure a high standard of care for those seeking to recover from their addiction in Prescott. Therefore, passage of Rep. Campbell’s bill, which allows each municipality to set its own supervision requirements within these homes, is essential to regulate and raise the standard of care for the clients in recovery here.
I have also established the Mayor’s Ad Hoc Committee on Structured Sober Living Homes due to the high number of concerns and complaints from citizens in neighborhoods where certain recovery homes operate. It will serve as both a conflict resolution mechanism and a forum to educate and inform the public on the requirements for successful operation of recovery homes. In short, the purpose of the committee is to receive and review complaints from city residents and/or structured sober living home clients regarding health, safety, and welfare issues within specific homes. The committee will also collaborate with appropriate city departments in order to achieve a definite resolution to the complaints. A complete listing of the roles, responsibilities and processes it will follow can be found at the city’s website, www.prescott-az.gov, under the City Leadership tab, and then by selecting the Boards & Commissions page.
