Substance‑free living No alcohol, illegal drugs, or misused prescriptions on or off the property. If you’re unsure about a product (like CBD or cough syrup), just ask a house lead.

If a slip happens Safety first—no shame. Let a house lead know as soon as possible so we can support you with next steps, which may include a support plan, added structure, or a referral for detox if needed.

Testing We use drug/alcohol testing to help keep the home safe. We’ll explain when testing may occur, how samples are handled, and how results are shared. Refusing or tampering is treated like a positive test.

Guests & visitation Friends and family are welcome during posted hours in shared spaces. No guests in bedrooms. No overnight guests. Please check in with the house lead before hosting a group.

Curfew & quiet hours Curfew is 10 pm Sun–Thu and 12 am Fri–Sat unless approved in advance. Quiet hours start 30 minutes after curfew so everyone can rest.

Shared spaces & chores We keep the house clean because we share it. Everyone has weekly chores, and we rotate. If you fall behind, just let us know—we’ll figure it out together.

Bedrooms Keep rooms tidy, food in the kitchen only, and respect your roommate’s sleep, study, and privacy needs.

Respect Kindness is our baseline. We don’t tolerate bullying, harassment, hate speech, or threats. Differences are respected here.

Privacy & confidentiality What’s shared in the home stays in the home. Don’t post about others or share their recovery status without permission.

Technology & social media Be mindful in shared spaces. No recording or photographing others without consent. Keep volume low, especially during quiet hours.

Smoking & vaping Allowed in designated areas. Please clean up and never smoke indoors.

Safety Keep exits clear and follow fire safety rules. No candles or space heaters without approval. Weapons of any kind are not allowed.

Parking & transportation Park in designated areas and keep driveways/fire lanes clear. Be considerate of neighbors and noise.

Recovery engagement Attend at least 1 recovery activity per week (12‑step, SMART, Refuge, therapy/counseling, Church, faith‑based, etc.). Weekly house meetings are required.

Work, school & daily structure Within two weeks of move‑in, have a structured day plan (work, school, treatment, volunteering, or job search). We’re happy to help with resources.

Finances Rent is due on the 1st and late after the 5th. If something comes up, talk to us early—we’ll work on a plan where possible. We are happy to accommodate those that prefer to pay weekly. Just ask for details.

Conflicts & grievances Start with a respectful conversation. If that’s tough, ask for a mediated check‑in. You can submit a written concern without fear of retaliation.

Graduated responses to concerns We use clear and consistent steps—coaching, written agreements, increased supports, temporary added structure, or discharge only when necessary to protect the home.

Emergencies In a medical or safety emergency, call 911 first, then notify the house lead.

Move‑out & alumni Please give 14 days’ notice when possible. Alumni are welcome at open meetings and events.
