Harm Reduction Transitional Housing
This program acts as a recovery-centered safety net, designed to help you stay retained in stable housing even when navigating difficult life disruptions.
Critical Policy Notice
We do not provide, permit, or facilitate safe injection or active on-site substance consumption of any kind. This program is designed to help adults stabilize their lives through uncompromising safety boundaries.
We strictly enforce a mandatory 10:00 PM daily curfew and a strict zero on-site visitor policy with no exceptions to ensure a secure, orderly, and law-abiding environment for all.
Choosing Your Path
Sober Living
VS
Harm Reduction Housing
To help you or your family member make an informed decision, it is important to understand the fundamental differences in daily expectations, rules, and recovery structures between our two adult residential pathways.
While both tracks prioritize accountability and personal growth, they serve different stages of a person's journey to stability.
A structured environment focused on continuous abstinence, peer accountability, and reintegration into independent living.
This path is ideal for those who have completed treatment and are committed to a zero-tolerance recovery lifestyle.
Designed for individuals who may still be managing substance use but require stable, safe housing to maintain health and safety.
The primary goal is retention and stabilization through safety boundaries rather than immediate abstinence.
- We assist with the coordination and safety of individuals choosing a non-medical detox journey within our walls.
- Our staff helps monitor Medication-Assisted Treatment schedules covering vital options like methadone or buprenorphine to keep your recovery path consistent and your living space calm.
- In the event of a health emergency, call 911 immediately.
- Your wellness is the cornerstone of your journey here.
- This information is for general education only and is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting, changing, or stopping any medication or detox plan.
Whichever track you apply for, you are choosing a community built on dignity, safety, and a higher standard of personal responsibility.
Both pathways enforce the exact same rigorous daily curfews, housekeeping requirements, and daylight productivity tracks to ensure a structured, law-abiding environment designed to help you reclaim your future.
