A Certified Recovery Residence Administrator is the person responsible for the overall management of a recovery residence, plus supervision of residents and paid or volunteer staff.  He or she ensures appropriate response to resident needs and maintenance of the residence. The CRRA accomplishes these goals being accountable for implementation of and compliance with the National Alliance of Recovery Residences (NARR) Quality Standards and Code of Ethics for Level 1 – 4 Recovery Residences.  Currently 27 states are affiliated with the National Alliance of Recovery Residences (NARR).  This training curriculum is based around the requirements set froth by the Florida and Georgia Certification Boards, since they were the first Recovery Residence Administrator Certifications.  However, the curriculum should meet the standards of any other state.  If you have questions, or your state requires a course not in the curriculum (below), simply contact us and we will assist you.
