Adult Nonmedical Alcoholism or Drug Abuse Recovery or Treatment Facility - Initial Licensing Application Packet

This is the entire package of materials required for initial licensing of a treatment facility. Please print out and/or save every document below. You will need to refer to them often. The documents may be downloaded in Microsoft Word or PDF format.

If you have access to Microsoft Word '97 or a newer version of Microsoft Word you will be able to fill out the majority of all required form fields electronically. You will also be able to save a completed version (with your organization's information) of the document locally. After doing so, the completed application can be printed from Microsoft Word, additional fields (eg. signatures) can be completed manually, and the complete application can be sent to ADP. It is not recommended that you view or complete the Microsoft Word application documents within your Internet browser window. Please download or save these documents first and then open them in Microsoft Word.

If you do not have access to a compatible version of Microsoft Word, you may download the application documents in Adobe's .pdf format. This format cannot be electronically completed. Adobe .pdf users must first print out the application and then complete it manually. To access the PDF format you need Acrobat Reader on your computer. If you do not have Acrobat Reader on your computer, click here to download and install a free version of Acrobat Reader on your computer.

After reviewing all of these documents, print and complete all applicable forms and submit a hard copy to the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, Residential and Outpatient Programs Compliance Branch, 1700 K Street, Sacramento, California 95814-4037. Retain a copy of all information submitted to the Department for your files.
