Quick Checks & Readiness Tools
Sometimes you don't need the full guide. You just need to know what to look for.
These simplified tools are designed to help you quickly review a house, resident file, staffing issue, inspection concern, or other common compliance area and identify where a closer look may be needed.
Quick Checks are starting points, not substitutes for the full DBH rules or ORRPA's detailed compliance guides.
Start With the Basics
Use these quick checks for a fast review of two of the most important areas of day-to-day recovery residence compliance: the house itself and the people involved in its operation.
Special Circumstances
Some requirements are triggered by the structure of the residence, who lives there, or its relationship with treatment services. Use these quick checks to quickly determine whether additional requirements or a deeper review may apply.
Resident Files & Admissions
Use these quick checks when reviewing a resident file or preparing to admit a new resident. They provide a fast way to identify missing information, documentation, or admission requirements that may need attention.
Resident & Household Size Thresholds
Some DBH requirements change when a residence reaches specific occupancy or household-size thresholds. Use this quick check to identify when the nine-resident or ten-household-member thresholds may affect your operation and when you should review the detailed requirements more closely.
Inspection & Incident Readiness
Use these quick checks to assess basic inspection readiness and work through whether an event may trigger DBH incident-reporting requirements.
