Creating a Staff and Leadership Code of Conduct

In recovery housing, staff and leadership play a crucial role in creating a safe, supportive and conducive environment for residents’ recovery journeys. A clear and comprehensive code of conduct ensures that staff members uphold ethical standards, maintain professionalism and prioritize residents’ well-being at all times. Each recovery home is required to have such a code of conduct, and all staff and leaders are required to sign it and maintain it.
