Visitor Policy: Conclusions

Developing an appropriate Visitor Policy for recovery housing is essential for maintaining a supportive and safe environment for residents.

By clearly outlining who can visit and when, specifying visiting areas, requiring accompanied visits, prohibiting substance use, emphasizing respectful behavior, and maintaining confidentiality, recovery housing operators can create an environment that supports residents’ recovery journey while respecting their privacy and safety.

It is essential for all staff and residents to familiarize themselves with the Visitor Policy and uphold its principles to ensure a positive and conducive living environment.
