No. Many residents come straight from detox or inpatient care, but you can also come to us with no treatment history at all — as long as you're detoxed and able to live independently. We're a recovery residence, not a medical facility, so we can't manage withdrawal on site.

Sober living is paid privately, week to week, and generally isn't billed to insurance the way treatment is. Our rate covers your bed, utilities, testing, and transport with nothing added on. Ask us for the current weekly figure and what a first week costs to move in.

Yes — and we expect you to work, study, or actively look. Shift work is fine; we'll set your testing and meeting schedule around it. We can also help with résumés, interview clothes, and rides to interviews.

Using ends a placement, because the safety of the house depends on it. What that looks like in practice is a conversation, a call to your support people, and help getting you to detox, treatment, or another safe bed the same day. We don't put people out on the street, and returning later is often possible.

There's a curfew every night, earlier for your first thirty days. Visitors are by arrangement and never overnight. Passes for family time, work travel, and appointments are approved case by case.

Cars and phones, yes, with a valid licence and insurance for the former. Pets are the one we handle individually — ask before you plan around it.
