Our MASH-certified homes promote independent living in a structured family environment.
Our structured environment includes, but is not exclusive to following:
- Pay weekly fees on time
- 1 weekly bible study (optional)
- 1 weekly house meeting
- Attend daily AA/NA, Smart Recovery, or other meetings approved by staff until working full-time, then attend a minimum of three meetings per week
- 2 weekly drug/alcohol compliance analysis and/or breathalyzing
- 1 monthly life skills night
- Responsible to keep her bedroom neat and clean, clean up after herself, and house chores
- Each member is responsible for keeping the bedroom neat and clean, tidying up after herself, and completing house chores
If a woman is unable to work, she will need to volunteer (according to her abilities), attend school, participate in a program, or participate with a agreed-upon productive activity. This is to encourage women to be active and take ownership of their recovery.
Each recovery plan will be tailored to the individual woman's needs. The recovery plan encourages accountability and direction.
Assistance with life skills reinforces positive change.
House standards are to ensure the safety and cohesive behaviors of everyone in the house.
