Purpose: Single reference for RH module regulatory and authoritative sources. docs/compliance/AUTHORITATIVE_REFERENCES.md (Recovery Housing and Governance) holds the canonical table; this doc provides a stable path for RH AGENTS.md and specs.
This is the regulatory reference hub for Recovery Housing — the canonical sources behind RH licensing and recovery-residence standards. For operational RH features, see the Recovery Housing pages in the sidebar.

AZDHS — Behavioral Health

Arizona behavioral health facility licensing.

AZDHS — Residential

Arizona residential facility licensing.

NARR Standard

National recovery residence standard.

Quick Reference

Decision Trees

  • Need licensing requirement context?
    • Behavioral health facility → AZDHS Behavioral Health Facilities Licensing.
    • Residential facility operations → AZDHS Residential Facilities Licensing.
  • Need recovery residence standards baseline?
    • Use NARR standards before drafting RH operational requirements.

Pattern Library

  • Regulatory source pattern: prefer state licensing authority first, then national standards.
  • Spec traceability pattern: map each source to RH spec IDs in “Used By”.
  • Governance alignment pattern: keep root AGENTS canonical table and RH references synchronized.

Common Mistakes

Pre-Flight Checklist

  • Source URLs resolve and are current.
  • “Used By” mappings match active RH specs.
  • Root AGENTS and RH reference table remain synchronized.
