Creating a Resident Rights Statement

 

A Residents’ Rights Statement is an essential component of ethical and effective recovery housing. It not only safeguards the rights and dignity of residents but also contributes to the creation of a supportive and nurturing environment conducive to long-term recovery.

A well written resident rights statement empowers those that may not have had rights in previous life experiences. Upholding rights helps set the tone of trust between the recovery housing operators, among residents, and within the recovery house community.
