Existing law requires the State Department of Health Care Services to license and regulate alcohol or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities serving adults. Existing law provides that an alcohol or other drug recovery or treatment facility that serves 6 or fewer persons shall be considered a residential use of property for certain purposes, and that the residents and operators of the facility shall be considered a family for the purposes of any law or ordinance that relates to the residential use of property.
