If your clinical program has not been arranged by your rehab, we will help you set up your clinical plan.
-
You will be asked to sign a residency agreement outlining house rules, fees, length of stay expectations, and your rights and responsibilities.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A RELAPSE?
-
​Relapse or rule violations trigger an immediate safety response: staff will prioritize stabilization, clinical and family consultation, and a plan for next steps.

Responses range from clinical referrals, a new sober house, or a return to residential. If you are returning to us, together we'll structure your re‑entry plan. The goal is always to keep people engaged in recovery rather than punish.
