The Recovery Housing Program is a state-funded option for individuals wanting to initiate and sustain recovery efforts in a safe, stable living environment. Benefits of Recovery Housing access includes:
Safe environment
This transitional housing provides a physically and emotionally safe, secure, and respectful environment for individuals with the chronic disease of addiction. Recovery houses often have one live-in staff responsible for the management of the house.
Structured living
Daily and weekly schedules and routines provide structure for individuals to focus on physical, social, mental, and community wellness. Regular house meetings, group activities, and community volunteering foster accountability.
Community Integration
Connecting individuals to their local community to build individual resources and adapt to a recovery lifestyle improves social connections and feelings of acceptance.
Support Network
A 24-hour network of peers and trained staff dedicated to recovery provides encouragement and support when needed. Individuals often have opportunities to become mentors to other residents fostering individual and community dependability.
Rules and responsibilities
Following rules, paying rent, and completing delegated tasks while being involved in work, school, or treatment instills a sense of purpose and increases self-esteem.
