Resident Handbook
Our mission is to provide a safe, clean, structured, and substance-free environment where residents can focus on recovery, personal growth, employment, education, and becoming productive members of society.
Living here is a privilege, not a right. Every resident is expected to contribute to a respectful recovery community.
Full Policy
Every resident agrees to these standards on move-in. Structure is what makes early recovery possible.
Residents may not possess or consume alcohol, illegal drugs, marijuana (including medical marijuana unless specifically approved by management), or drug paraphernalia. Abuse of prescription medication is also prohibited.
Violation may result in immediate discharge.
Curfew exists to promote safety, accountability, and healthy routines. Sunday through Thursday curfew is 12:00 AM. Friday and Saturday curfew is 2:00 AM.
Residents employed during overnight shifts may request written exemptions. Curfew violations follow a verbal warning → written warning → behavior contract → eviction progression.
Residents agree to random urine testing, breathalyzer testing, testing after suspicious behavior, after leaving overnight, and when relapse concerns arise.
Refusing a test is considered a positive test. Residents are responsible for testing costs if applicable.
Residents must attend at least 2–3 recovery meetings each week, plus house meetings, recovery coaching, and peer support sessions. Acceptable meetings include AA, NA, SMART Recovery, Celebrate Recovery, Refuge Recovery, and other approved meetings.
Residents must obtain meeting verification when requested.
Residents will treat everyone with dignity and respect. No fighting, threats, bullying, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or sexual harassment.
Violence may result in immediate discharge.

Residents have the right to live in a safe environment, be treated respectfully, practice confidentiality, file grievances, receive fair treatment, and be free from discrimination.
Residents agree to maintain sobriety, pay fees on time, participate in recovery, respect others, follow all house rules, keep the home clean, report concerns, and contribute positively to the recovery community.
Residents agree to respect the privacy of fellow residents. Information learned within the house shall remain confidential except where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect health and safety.
Security cameras operate throughout the property 24/7/365 for the safety and security of all residents, guests, and the property. Tampering with, covering, disconnecting, disabling, obstructing, or damaging any camera or related equipment is strictly prohibited.
