Protect Your IOP From Legal & Compliance Risk

The Chaz Foundation – A Safer, Smarter Way to Support Clients

The Current Risks in Addiction Treatment

Many IOPs and sober livings are trying to support clients through practices that create serious liability:

Promissory Notes & Direct Payments: Covering client housing or treatment costs directly can trigger anti-kickback violations, since payments may be seen as inducements.
Clients as House Managers: Using clients to manage homes without a structured program raises wage & labor law violations, as it can be classified as unpaid or misclassified work.
Debt Burden: Promissory notes create financial stress that undermines recovery and increases relapse.
Administrative Strain: Tracking and collecting debt drains resources and exposes your IOP to disputes.

Continuing with these practices puts your program at risk of audits, fines, and reputational harm.

The Chaz Foundation Solution

We provide a compliant, ethical, and tax-advantaged framework that eliminates these risks while still meeting client needs:

IOP Donation: Your program makes a general charitable donation to The Chaz Foundation.
Client List: You share a list of clients needing housing or recovery support.
Direct Grants: We issue grants directly to sober livings or treatment-related services on clients’ behalf.
Premiums & Deductibles: Donations also allow us to assist clients with insurance premiums and deductibles, removing major barriers to care.
Job Training Track: Clients can enroll in our Peer Leadership & House Manager Training Program, where responsibilities are structured as workforce development, not free labor.
Tax Deduction: You receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donation.

No promissory notes.
No client debt.
No anti-kickback violations.
No labor law risks.
