LAC 48:VII.701. Introduction

A. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, (Public Law 100-690) established a program entitled Group Homes for Recovering Substance Abusers. This program requires the state to create a revolving fund of at least $100,000 to make loans of up to $4,000 to non-profit private entities to provide housing for six or more individuals recovering from alcoholism or other drug abuse. This self-help group housing service is intended to enable recovering persons to sustain a chemical free lifestyle by accepting responsibility for operating a democratically run and self-supported alcohol and drug free recovery house.
