Sober Living Environments

SLE are residential living arrangements for persons transitioning from drug or alcohol rehabilitation or treatment centers.

There is no state agency in California that licenses or provides certification of SLEs. A facility must be certified by the state Title 19 Agency that it is “operating under Part B of Title 19 of the Public Health Service Act” or be an authorized FNS retailer. SLEs cannot be considered DAA Treatment Centers for CalFresh purposes.
