Receive accurate information about addiction, mental health problems, and problematic behavior.

Safe Environment
A Home Away from Home Sober Living has formulated its Policies and Procedures to ensure a safe comfortable environment for all residents. Group living can pose challenges under the best of circumstances. While some of the following may seem restrictive, the goal is to provide clearly defined guidelines for all residents. Keep in mind not every situation can be addressed so common sense must be exercised. The overriding rule is the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated, speak to others as you would like to be spoken to and give the respect you would like to receive.
​
It is our firm belief that each resident is personally responsible for their actions and their sobriety; therefore, the house manager’s primary duties are to introduce and instruct the new resident to the culture of the home, hold all residents accountable to their commitment to sobriety and good self-care, and to ensure that the house rules are being followed.
​
A Home Away from Home Sober Living prides itself on being a good neighbor. All residents are expected to be respectful and courteous to neighbors. A Home Away from Home Sober Living oversees the day-to-day management of each house and is available to offer support and guidance to the residents. All prospective residents must interview with the A Home Away from Home Sober Living house manager to qualify for housing.
​
Residents are required to attend weekly house meetings. These meetings are mandatory and are similar to a group-conscious meeting. This is the time for each resident to discuss affairs of the house, voice concerns, and respond to issues that may arise. Resident input is encouraged and is necessary for a healthy living environment.
​
All residents are subject to peer-based accountability. It is your duty as a resident to follow the policies and procedures of the house. It is also your duty to encourage other residents to do the same.
