New details about the sober living home where Cindy Crawford’s son Presley Gerber died have raised questions about the facility and the circumstances surrounding his final hours.

Presley had arrived at the Santa Monica residence shortly before he was found unresponsive from a suspected overdose. California officials have since clarified that the facility was not required to hold a state license under its apparent classification.

Meanwhile, information about the professional history of its founder has also surfaced as police continue investigating what happened to Presley Gerber.

Presley died at Resolutions Living, which authorities say appears to operate as a sober living environment or recovery residence rather than a licensed substance-use disorder treatment center.

The California Department of Public Health told TMZ that it does not regulate or license Resolutions Therapeutic Services or Resolutions Living. The DHCS similarly said it had no record of the Santa Monica location operating as a licensed residential treatment facility.

The facility’s licensing status, however, does not by itself suggest any violation of California State rules. Recovery residences are permitted to operate outside DHCS oversight, provided their role is limited to sober housing rather than clinical care. Services involving detox, counseling, treatment plans, or group therapy would place a facility under different regulatory requirements.

Questions have nevertheless emerged about whether Presley should have been admitted there. People in his circle believe he should have been directed to a detox center instead.

Attention has also turned to the professional history of Resolutions Therapeutic Services founder Reza Nabavi. State records reviewed by TMZ show that his registered psychologist license was temporarily revoked years before he established the facility.

The suspension occurred in 2006, and Nabavi was subsequently placed on probation for five years. He was also reportedly instructed to stay away from alcohol and controlled substances during that period.

The reason behind the original suspension remains unclear. Nabavi later established Resolutions Therapeutic Services in 2013, several years after the disciplinary action.

His psychology license is currently active and is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2028. The newly surfaced history comes as the circumstances surrounding Presley’s stay at the sober living home receive increased attention following his death.

Authorities are now working to determine exactly what happened before Presley was found unresponsive. TMZ reported that investigators have already spoken with other people who were staying at the facility at the time.

One major focus is determining whether Presley had taken drugs and, if so, where they came from. Investigators are reportedly looking into several possibilities, including whether any substances involved had been prescribed to him or obtained from a friend or dealer.

Santa Monica police responded to the facility at approximately 9:35 a.m. after receiving a call concerning a suspected overdose. Presley was found unresponsive, and officers attempted to resuscitate him.

He was eventually pronounced dead about 10 minutes later. An autopsy has also been completed, but Presley’s official cause of death has not been confirmed.

Months before his death, Presley gave followers a look at one of his attempts to overcome addiction. In March, he shared that he had undergone an “ibogaine flood dose,” a psychedelic treatment he pursued outside the United States.

Presley admitted that approaching the treatment had frightened him. “I was absolutely terrified,” he wrote, while explaining that surrendering control had been difficult. Still, he believed confronting what he had been avoiding could help him move forward.

“I knew why I was there. I faced what I had been running from,” Presley wrote, per People Magazine, adding that he had begun “finding my way back to myself.” He ended that reflection by saying he was “praying it’s the last time I have to come back.”

His family openly encouraged his efforts. Cindy Crawford called her son a “warrior” and told him she was proud, while Kaia Gerber expressed similar support. Presley had also spoken openly about wanting his experiences with addiction and mental health to help others avoid some of the mistakes he had made.

As Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber cope with their son’s death, longtime family friend George Clooney has made it clear they will not face their grief alone. Clooney and his wife, Amal, were spotted arriving at Kaia Gerber’s Los Angeles home on Tuesday.

George has shared a particularly close friendship with Rande for years, while the Gerber children reportedly grew up referring to him as “Uncle George.” An insider said his connection with Presley also ran deep, describing their relationship as more than simply that of a family friend and his friend’s son.

“George would spend hours talking to Presley,” the source told the Daily Mail. The actor reportedly offered Presley guidance during difficult periods and later sent supportive messages reminding him, “I am here for you.”

Following Presley’s passing, Clooney is said to be focused on supporting the entire Gerber family however he can. “He feels absolutely awful for Rande and the entire family,” the insider explained, adding that George wants them to know he is available “in any way, shape or form.”
