FAQs
Is this a treatment center?
No. It is a structured recovery residence, not a medical facility. If you are meeting your responsibilities, you may come and go within curfew.
Are there rules?
Yes. Rules protect the house and help residents succeed.
How quickly can I move in?
Sometimes the same day. It depends on bed availability, time of day, and intake staff.
Do I have to work?
Yes. Every resident works, job-hunts, attends school, or volunteers in their community.
What about families?
When it is safe and approved, children may visit. We want residents to rebuild healthy family relationships.
