This position will support the Manager of the Maryland Certification of Recovery Residences. This position will work with the owners, staff and residents of the recovery residences to complete the certification process. Additional duties include tracking information for recovery residences in the certification process, sending out notifications on when the next renewal will occur.

This position should be knowledgeable about the National Alliance of Recovery Residences (NARR) 2018 Quality Standards and use the quality standards to conduct on site field assessments.
