--- Quote from: "not.moses" ---Benchmark operates under state Dept. of Consumer Affairs licensure as a "California Sober Living Program."
--- End quote ---

Sober living is an exception to licensing, not licensing in itself.  It's also a bullshit exception for Benchmark since a sober living house is specified under Cali law to be *democratic* (members vote on stuff), have no staff in authority, and to not force anybody to do anything.  Benchmark has been dodging licensing for quite some time now, and I've kept good tabs on how.

Read this handy govt pamphlet on that specifying explicitly that sober living is not a license, that sober living houses are not eligible for licensing. And the definition of what a sober living house is:

Benchmark currently is not a licensed or accredited program.  Benchmark also does not employ any licensed counselors (whom they call coaches). (except maybe Michael V (I have not yet checked on that)).  Benchmark also does not employ the therapists they list on their website.  To the best of my knowledge, they operate on a consulting basis and are paid directly by the parents (they are not in the direct employ of Benchmark).

Even Straight.. Even AARc... has it's "pet" doctors.
