The sober home where <\/strong>Presley Gerber<\/strong><\/a> died didn’t need to be licensed by the state of California … and the psychologist who opened it had his license yanked prior to launching the facility.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The California Department of Public Health tells TMZ … it does not license or regulate Resolutions Therapeutic Services or Resolutions Living — the facility where Presley was found dead from a suspected drug overdose.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The California Department of Health Care Services also tells TMZ … it has no record of Resolutions operating as a licensed substance-use disorder residential treatment facility in Santa Monica.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

DHCS says the program appears to operate as a sober living environment or recovery residence, which does not require a license and is not subject to the agency’s oversight.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Reza Nabavi<\/strong>, the founder of Resolutions Therapeutic Services, had his registered psychologist license temporarily revoked in 2006 … according to state records reviewed by TMZ and first reported by NBC<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nabavi was placed on probation for five years, and reportedly ordered to abstain from alcohol and controlled substances. It’s unclear why his license had been suspended.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He later opened Resolutions Therapeutic Services in 2013 … and his current psychologist license is set to expire June 30, 2028.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Sober homes can operate without a DHCS license as long as they do not provide services such as detox, counseling, group sessions, or treatment planning.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Resolutions Living advertises long-term housing, addiction and mental-health support, and 24\/7 on-site staff.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

As we reported, Presley arrived Saturday evening and appeared to be under the influence. He went into cardiac arrest<\/strong><\/a> and died<\/strong><\/a> Sunday morning in a bedroom. People in his orbit think the sober living home should have turned him away<\/strong><\/a> and sent him to a detox center.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Police are investigating<\/strong><\/a> his death as a suspected overdose, though his official cause of death remains pending. No foul play is suspected.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
