1. Commitment to stay at least 4 months. You may stay longer. Your stay will be terminated without notice if house rules are not 100% complied with. 2. Complete abstinence from all mind & mood altering substances for a minimum of 30-calendar days. This includes illegal drugs, alcohol, prescription drugs (certain medical exceptions can be made), or any other substance used to alter your mind or mood. We do drug & alcohol screening several times a month. We reserve the right
to not accept residents that are taking certain prescription medications (i.e. Vyvanse, Suboxone or
Subutex, and this list is not exhaustive) and we screen for those as well. We ensure that you will have a
safe and sober place to recover, and we discharge immediately with zero tolerance for a failed drug or alcohol screen.
3. You must have or be willing to get a "sponsor", which is a person who will guide you through the 12 Steps of recovery. We expect everyone to have a sponsor within 1 week. One-on-one work with a sponsor is the most important part of your recovery and you must meet with your sponsor once a week.
4. Willingness to stay clean & sober through the 12 Steps of Recovery. Active participation in all groups, step-work with your sponsor, and attendance of outside 12 Step meetings is mandatory.
5. Complete willingness to follow all rules and directions. Living by Design Collective, LLC is a structured living environment that provides all residents with the opportunity to live life to the fullest, but learn to live with structure and accountability.
6. You must either have a job, be actively seeking employment (this will be verified), be attending an outpatient program, or be attending school full time during the day (you may also have to work part time). Part of the structure of recovery is learning to fill our day with worthwhile and productive activities.
7. Willingness to focus on yourself. We have a strict “No Fraternization” policy with any other licensee sharing space together.
8. . Willingness to attend all weekly mandatory house meetings. Additionally, you are required to attend a minimum of two additional 12 Step meetings of your choice. There may also be other mandatory meeting, retreats, and functions throughout the year.
