Absolutely Stellar! This conference exceeded all my expectations with its insightful speakers, engaging topics, and fantastic networking opportunities. Every session was a deep dive into innovation and expertise. Can't wait for this year's!

Being at the NARR Conference always fills me with hope; hope for the future of those seeking recovery from SUD and hope for recovery housing's recognition as a critical component in the continuum of care.

Gene D.

The NARR conference was very informative and allowed for connections with other operators, owners, and those interested in owning recovery homes nationwide. I have been to several national conferences and found the NARR conference to be the most beneficial. I plan to attend every year and will be sad when we open our home, and I will be sending our direct housing staff instead of myself.

Meghan R.

The Summit was an incredibly valuable and inspiring experience. The sessions were strong, the speakers knowledgeable, and the networking opened doors to partnerships that directly benefit the work we do in recovery housing.
