Rules and Expectations

Every recovery house has a full list of rules and regulations that must be adhered to in order to remain a guest of the home. Recovering addicts who make the decision not to obey the sober house rules are at risk of being rejected from the home and forced to find another living situation that is adequate and safe for them.

​

Each of the rules that are outlined when you enter into a recovery house is there for your protection, for the protection of others living in the home and for the protection of the home itself.
