Reading the other comments, it appears there is a misapprehension about the purpose of the law.  This law exists solely to allow consumers to know whether a specific recovery residence has been certified either by Oxford House or by the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR) and prevents uncertified residences from representing themselves as such.

As written the does give consumers a way to verify whether residences are certified.  I do not believe any changes to the law are necessary.
