Bill > HB448

This bill requires the Maryland Department of Health to conduct at least two unannounced on-site inspections each year of every certified recovery residence, which are facilities providing support for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. These inspections are in addition to the inspections already performed by the credentialing entity, which is an organization approved by the Department to oversee the certification process for these residences. If, after an inspection, the Department finds a recovery residence is not meeting required standards, it will notify the residence of the issues and give them one month to fix them. If the residence fails to correct the deficiencies within that month, the Department can then direct the credentialing entity to revoke the residence's certification.
