Creating a Resident Code of Conduct for a Recovery House

It is important that recovery residence operators know and understand the importance of a code of conduct policy.

Former recovery house residents often mention the house’s social structure as THE significant reason for their recovery success. A recovery house’s code of conduct is the foundation for this structure and, consequently, the foundation to a resident’s recovery success.

  • Examine language choices in a house code of conduct,
