About AzRHA
Setting the Standard for Safe, Ethical, and Accountable Recovery Housing Across Arizona
The Arizona Recovery Housing Association (AzRHA) is a statewide network of certified sober living and halfway house providers united by one mission — to uphold quality, safety, and integrity in every recovery home. We represent hundreds of certified homes all across the state of Arizona — from Yuma to Flagstaff, Phoenix to Tucson, and surrounding metro areas. Our members are more than housing providers; they are community partners helping thousands of individuals rebuild their lives in recovery every year.
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation -
it takes safe housing, accountability, and connection.
Arizona Recovery Housing Association Exits to:
Demystify recovery
and reduce stigma across Arizona communities.
Promote transparency
and ethics among recovery housing providers.
Support families
and the public through education and outreach.
Ensure fairness
and equal treatment for all people in recovery.
Our certified homes undergo annual site inspections, ensuring every residence meets safety, structure, and service expectations that residents can trust.

Public Policy & Advocacy
AzRHA continues to lead efforts that protect and empower Arizona’s recovery housing community.
We partner with the Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS), Department of Corrections, and local jurisdictions to align policy, strengthen oversight, and advocate for fair representation of individuals in recovery.
Our History
AzRHA was established in October 2008 through a SAMHSA grant (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) -under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Since then, our founding members — in collaboration with national and state partners — have laid the foundation for a unified, accountable recovery housing network in Arizona.
Today, our Executive Committee and specialized committees (Membership, Marketing, and Public Policy) continue to drive the same mission that started it all:
“To raise the bar in recovery housing.”
