Xchange Expectations & Code of Conduct

Date

Thank you for considering our housing program. As part of the XChange, you will experience having an instant family that will give you a ton of support, encouragement and suggestions for living a good and healthy life. Much of what makes up our program, are things that will benefit you and help you with your faith and your recovery and are things meant to do for the rest of your life. Everything we suggest is meant to only help you and provide a good foundation to build your life on. Each participant will have a ‘core team’ that consist of a house manager, peer coach, program supervisor(s) and program director to help guide and support you while in the program. The following expectations are mostly common-sense, everyday guidelines that will help all of us to be aware of the need to respect each-other. These expectations have been set in place to not only safeguard XChange Recovery house(s) but, to safeguard its current participants and all the future participants to come. It may seem like a lot, but it’s all self-explanatory stuff, and totally doable. These house rules apply to all participants and may not all apply to the staff of XChange Recovery.*

Your Name

1. We are a Christian faith based supportive housing program. Our program is a 10 month minimum – 2 year maximum. Please honor the home(s), all the participants, staff etc. At all times. This includes keeping your actions and language under control. Certain profanities will constitute a fine.*

4. Under phase I & phase II, all medications over-the-counter or prescribed are to be in the care of the house manager, under lock/key. All medications must be in original containers. If, for any reason you get any prescribed medication, it must be brought to the attention of the house manager. For extreme cases involving surgery or other in depth procedures- You must have a note from your physician if prescribed a narcotic for longer than 2 weeks, and you must make your core team aware of said procedures prior to the event. If you are prescribed medicines by your doctor, you must stay on those meds until your doctor takes you off them. (provide such proof from your doctor to the house). All medicines are to be kept with the house manager and out of view of other house members. (ABSOLUTELY NO sharing of prescribed meds, this is considered a relapse of all parties involved). Talking to other participants about medications is not acceptable. Stay in your own lane and do not discuss medications with anyone other than staff, as this could trigger someone. Under phase III, you will begin dispersing your own medication, under supervision. All meds must be kept in a lock box (provided by participant) at all times and, an additional key must be given to the house manager, and random pill counts will be conducted.*

Your Initials

5. Upon move in – staff will conduct a thorough search of boxes, luggage, and personal items coming into the house. This is to ensure no drugs/alcohol, paraphernalia, weapons, and inappropriate items are not brought into the house (i.e. pornography, drug/alcohol clothing, adult devices, etc. – this is subject to staff’s discretion). Inappropriate movies & books (i.e. evil, excessive sexual content or language, etc.) Are inappropriate in a faith-based program. Random and unannounced searches will be conducted to ensure none of these items are brought into the house to protect others in the house and to ensure the premises are safe for all Phones may also be randomly checked at any time by request of staff . All things brought into the house subsequent to entry to the program, also must be checked-in with staff (e.g. things brought in from a storage unit or given to you from a previous place you stayed.*

Your Initials

6. There are many resources and agencies that have been divinely provided to you to help you in your journey to seek healing and long- term recovery. You will be required to meet with other providers or participate in various programming at the discretion of staff – (i.e. drug/alcohol/mental health assessments, resume writing/job readiness, financial guidance, Good Samaritan Ministries for counseling, XChange pastoral staff for personal prayer ministry, treatment counseling, or XChange volunteers for peer support including case management and groups, ministry of helps, parenting classes, spiritual 12 steps, Love & Respect etc.)*

If you are already employed and looking to change jobs, you must maintain current employment, until replacement employment is found. Proper notice to your current employer is strongly suggested. If you are already employed or become employed you must inform your core team of your work schedule on your “week-at-a-glance” sheet that is part of your weekly check-in, also we require copies of your paystubs to be provided each pay-period. We encourage full-time, legitimate employment and/or pursue furthering your education for improving your life’s future.*

Your Initials

9. High accountability and program structure helps foster integrity. You will be required to sign in and out (onboard) as well as, phase specific accountability (see below).Blackout & First Phase & Second Phase: Plans are presented as a request to Core Team group text or messenger, and you’ll need to provide information of who, what, where, when, why and how. Plan ahead. Must wait for the okay from someone on your core team via text/messenger. If you don’t get an answer, your answer is no. When plans are in motion, you must core team message location along the way whenever location changes, so staff is aware of your location at all times. If you’re doing right, this won’t matter to you..Third Phase: You’re living out what you learned in first and second phase, and no longer need to present your plans as a request. In this phase, you’re just informing House Manager/Sr. Resident where you’re going.This process is meant to help you consider making good choices. Often when you’re not doing well, or what you’re suppose to, you drop off the radar and don’t tell anyone anything. This will help you stay on track, and will help you to be considerate of others. Over communicating helps us know you’re doing well and on track.*All participants will be asked to place Life 360 tracker app on your phone, just like random UA’s, we can/will randomly check your whereabouts. Staff may roll up and check to see if you are where you say you are. This is an integrity program, which means do the next right thing, even when no one is looking. Being shady, lying and sneaking is old behavior and not acceptable. Please do what you say you’re going to do - it is a big part of recovery. We will randomly check to keep you on track. Building healthy habits is what you’re here for and it takes time and repetition of doing right, to have it become second nature.*

A week-at-a-glance calendar of scheduled daily activities (i.e. work, meetings, etc.) must be prepared each week (with Peer Coach) and given to house manager each week by Sunday at 8pm, along with weekly check-in and community service log.

However, any hours that are required for our housing must be fulfilled first and any additional hours you complete will go towards the courts. For example: if you are required 20 hours for XChange and you have 30 hours on your sheet completed and verified 20 will go to your program obligations and 10 will go towards your court obligations.*

19. Participants will be paired with a peer coach within the first 30 days in the program to create a strong support group, accountability, life mapping, goal setting and connection to community resources. Our three phase integration (phases I, II, III) is our approach to the continuation of recovery support to ensure growth and forward progress to self sufficiency. It is a recovery “building block” approach, where each phase is designed to build upon the previous one. This exposes the participants to a drug free world gradually, as their coping skills, self-esteem and recovery tools become sufficient to identify and navigate potential obstacles. Progression through the phases is accomplished according to readiness, as determined by the individual, their family, case management team and staff. It is a highly individualized process because each person’s recovery path is different. The following guidelines have been established for each phase: Black out (30 day minimum): 30-45 days Phase I (90 day minimum - 120 day maximum) Phase II (90 day minimum – 120 day maximum) Phase III (90 day minimum – up to 2 years)*

Also as part of our housing program, participants must participate in XChange ministry service positions – greeters, ushers, kid’s church, audio visual, cameras, etc.*

21. Respect your housemates’ personal boundaries by, treating them as you would like to be treated. Do not ask to have or use something belonging to someone else. It puts them in a position to have to say ‘no’ or obligated to say ‘yes’, when they really do not want to. If you are offered something, you may accept, but do not ask someone else, so they are not put in an uncomfortable position. This includes personal items and food. If you need something, let your house manager or senior resident know. We may have resources available for you, if needed, as supplies last. In addition, if someone gives you permission once, that does not constitute permission/access for all times. Keeping unity and peace in the home is very important and will be expected to be upheld at all times. Never let anyone get into your personal belongings for any reason (i.e. your purse for a cigarette) never assume something is ok. *

I understand as a participant of the XChange Recovery housing I am required to read and familiarize myself with these house expectations and if I am unclear or do not understand any of them…..I will ask for assistance………… I also understand that new expectations may be implemented when deemed necessary by staff. I have carefully read and understand the above stated rules, and agree to follow all of the XChange recovery housing rules and expectations. The supported housing staff has discussed the rules with me. I understand that breaking any of these rules may result in removal from the program and from the supported housing unit.*
