What is required of you during this program?
Sobriety
Women must submit to random drug/alcohol tests on a regular basis
Members must be sober to be accepted into the home and may not use inside or outside of the home
Members must be a part of at least one local recovery program and attend a minimum of 3 meetings per week.
Program Fees
Program members are expected to pay monthly fees promptly each month. The monthly program fee is $775 and includes utilities and common household items such as WiFi, toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Before beginning The Vine House Recovery Program, program members must pay a non-refundable $350 intake fee along with a $350 security deposit. Because it is important to us to help set our program members up for success (even out of the home!), we offer a $350 scholarship program upon move-out to go towards future living expenses. The program member is eligible to receive this scholarship after they have completed the minimum 90 day program and leave in good standing.
A Supportive Atmosphere
The Vine House is not just sober living, it is a recovery program. Each woman is expected to conduct herself in a respectful manner that is conducive to her and her fellow member’s recovery. Members have household roles and responsibilities so that no chore/duty becomes the burden of a single member. Each program member must participate equally, including delivering disciplinary actions to each other, when needed, to ensure that the house runs in an effective manner.
What is Unacceptable?
Abuse.
Physical, emotional, and verbal abuse will not be tolerated. You may not attack another with words or otherwise. Disputes and differences should be handled in an adult manor. Please respect each others’ beliefs, ideas, property, etc.
Transgression.
Breaking the law is not conducive to ones’ recovery. Whether it seems to directly relate with addiction or not, household members will be held to a high standard regarding the law. Following rules within the house/program is also required. Failing to do so will result in disciplinary action or expulsion.
Use.
Drug and alcohol use are 100% prohibited, on or off premises, while living in The Vine House. Drug tests will be ran randomly and if a member receives a positive test, they will be expelled immediately. If a household member becomes aware of another member’s relapse and fails to report it to management, both parties will be asked to leave the program.
Damage.
Household members must respect the property of The Vine House, as well as the property belonging to other members. Do not break, steal or otherwise damage items of any kind on the property.
Theft.
Taking another persons property is not acceptable. Do not take food, inventory, medication, etc. that is not yours.
Isolation.
Participating in household meetings, orientations, chores, interviews, and communication is mandatory. Everyone must contribute…The Vine House isn’t just a recovery program, it is a community. Communication and participation is necessary to a functioning community.
