This regulatory action creates a new chapter, 12 VAC35-260 (previously listed as -270), in compliance with Chapter 220 of the 2019 Acts of Assembly (HB2045), which added a new section numbered 37.2-431.1 in the Code of Virginia creating an avenue for the certification of recovery residences through regulations adopted by the State Board of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. The new regulations define “recovery residences” and, as allowed by the enabling legislation, create a voluntary certification for residences that meet standards of credentialing entities specified by DBHDS. The two credentialing entities specified in the regulation are nationally recommended organizations that follow best practice standards for recovery. The legislation was developed through a stakeholder workgroup over the last year and with broad community feedback that called for greater oversight for recovery housing in Virginia. The certification process will be the responsibility of the DBHDS Office of Recovery Services. |
