Real Recovery is a Level 2 FARR certified recovery residence. Our sober living program maintains the highest ethical and recovery treatment standards. Real Recovery is a FARR Certified Recovery Residence What is FARR? The Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR) was founded in 2011 out of the need to evaluate and monitor standards-based recovery support services provided in community-based, residential settings throughout Florida. FARR is the Florida Affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR). Real Recovery is a certified Level 2 Recovery Residence with FARR. FARR's Philosophy FARR supports Recovery Residence providers in their effort to deliver quality recovery-oriented housing opportunities to persons in recovery who seek to reside in abstinence-based, peer-supportive environments. We believe this is best achieved through encouraging and monitoring provider compliance with national standards promulgated for this purpose. We further believe that all people have the right to recover in an atmosphere that meets their special needs as well as their basic needs for safety, dignity, and respect. FARR's Commitment to Sober Living FARR is committed to providing fair, impartial support and encouragement to recovery residence providers who express a willingness to achieve compliance with the NARR Standard and FARR Code of Ethics. FARR is further committed to participate in academic research studies focused on ROSC, Recovery Management, and residents’ personal development of Recovery Capital.
