House Rules

These rules protect the safety, sobriety, and well‑being of every resident. They are non‑negotiable and enforced consistently.


Rule 1 — Zero Tolerance for Drugs or Alcohol

Any possession, use, or distribution of drugs or alcohol results in immediate discharge. Sobriety is the foundation of our home.


Rule 2 — Mandatory Drug Testing

Residents must comply with random drug testing. This ensures accountability and protects the entire community.


Rule 3 — Curfew Compliance

Residents must follow the established curfew. Curfew helps maintain structure and reduces high‑risk situations.


Rule 4 — Meeting Attendance

Residents are required to attend:

Weekly house meetings

Outside recovery meetings (AA, NA, SMART Recovery, or similar)

Participation builds accountability and community.


Rule 5 — Respect for Staff & Residents

No violence, threats, harassment, or bullying. Everyone deserves safety and dignity.


Rule 6 — Cleanliness & Chores

Residents must keep personal and shared spaces clean. Chores rotate weekly and must be completed on time.


Rule 7 — No Weapons on Property

To maintain safety, no firearms, knives, or tactical gear are allowed on the premises. This rule is especially important for veteran safety.


Rule 8 — No Overnight Guests

Guests are welcome during approved hours, but no overnight stays are permitted.


Rule 9 — Employment or Productive Activity

Residents must be actively:
