Still have questions about the rules? Here’s what other guys usually ask before applying.
Because every guest represents a risk to everyone in the house. They could bring something in. They could distract someone from their focus. They could create jealousy or tension. Your brother can visit you at a restaurant or park. The house stays sacred for recovery only.
Curfew exists to protect you when you are most vulnerable. For genuine emergencies, you call the House Manager or Program Director immediately. Don't just leave and explain later. Communication and advance approval are what keep everyone safe and accountable within the program structure.
Very strict. If you disappear for more than 48 hours without notifying DOC and the Program Director, your bed is gone. We hold your spot by staying in communication. Disappearing tells us you are not committed. We need that bed for someone who is ready.
Yes. Recovery doesn't happen in two weeks. The 90-day requirement ensures you give yourself a real chance. Many guys want to leave early because recovery gets hard. Staying is how you grow. After 90 days, you can stay up to six months or longer with approval.
Bring your prescription bottle with your name on it. All medications must be approved by Helios staff before you enter the house. Keep them in your personal area out of sight. Never share with other residents. If your doctor changes or stops meds, provide documentation.
Any physical contact with intent to harm is violence. Self-defense means removing yourself from the situation and immediately notifying staff. Striking someone even if you feel provoked results in immediate termination. There are no exceptions. Use words. Walk away. Get staff involved.
Talk to us before you move in. Some guys arrive with nothing. We work with referral sources, family and sometimes payment plans. But once you are in, rent is due on time. Late fees apply after the 5th. Termination happens on the 10th. No exceptions.
Rules can change without notice because situations evolve. If changes happen, you will be notified immediately. You always have the choice to accept the rules or find other housing. Most guys stay because they understand every change exists to protect the community's safety and sobriety.
