Proposed bill would regulate 'sober homes'

A state legislative committee is considering a bill that would regulate so-called sober houses.  The facilities are meant to help drug addicts transition from rehab back into the community.  There is no current state oversight because they are not considered treatment centers under state law.  Danbury state Representative Bob Godfrey is a co-sponsor of the bill, which will be up for a public hearing before the Public Health Committee at a later date.  The legislation calls for sober houses to register as a business and to have Narcan on site.  Employees would also have to be trained on how to use the opioid overdose reversal treatment.
