Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Addiction Centers: American Addiction Centers operates a nationwide network of treatment facilities and maintains a large online directory of recovery resources, including sober living. It overlaps with SLN's directory function but at much larger scale and with owned treatment assets.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Hazelden Betty Ford is one of the largest nonprofit addiction treatment providers in the U.S., operating treatment centers, publishing curricula, and providing professional training. It is a broad incumbent whose training and certification programs overlap with SLN's operator education, but at national scale and with owned clinical facilities.
• Caron Treatment Centers: Caron is a large, established nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering residential and outpatient care, family programs, and professional education. It competes for the same referral pipelines (families, courts, clinicians) that drive demand for sober living housing curated by SLN.

Others

• SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration): SAMHSA is the federal agency that publishes treatment and recovery housing directories, funds recovery support services, and sets national behavioral health policy. It functions as an enabling public-sector counterpart to SLN's directory and standards work.
• Faces & Voices of Recovery: Faces & Voices of Recovery is a national recovery advocacy organization promoting recovery-oriented systems and policy reform. It is thematically adjacent to SLN's legislative advocacy and community-building role in the recovery housing sector.
• SMART Recovery: SMART Recovery is a nonprofit that offers secular, science-based mutual-support groups and training for addiction recovery facilitators. While not a sober living operator, it is an adjacent recovery ecosystem player that competes for the same referral audiences and offers training that overlaps with SLN's curriculum.

Direct peers

• Oxford House: Oxford House operates the largest network of self-run sober living homes in the U.S., with thousands of charter houses across multiple states. It is the most direct functional peer to Sober Living Network — both organize independent recovery residences under shared standards, though Oxford House uses a democratic self-run model while SLN uses a coalition-based membership model.
• National Association of Recovery Residences (NARR): NARR is the national standards and accreditation body for recovery residences, certifying affiliate state organizations that inspect and credential sober living homes. It is the closest analog to SLN's coalition and inspection role, operating at the national level rather than regional.
• California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP): CCAPP is a California statewide membership and certification body for addiction treatment programs and recovery residences. It overlaps directly with SLN in setting standards, providing training, and certifying operators in California.

Regional players

• The Council on Recovery: The Council on Recovery is a Houston-based nonprofit providing addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery housing services in Texas. It mirrors SLN's combined role as treatment/recovery housing coordinator and standards advocate, but in a different regional market.
