Is LifeHouse the same as a recovery home or halfway house? No. LifeHouse provides no therapy, treatment, or formal counseling. We encourage our residents to assume responsibility for themselves and for the family group. We create a wholesome and loving environment with minimal structure through sharing and self-discipline. We adhere to house standards because to violate them hurts our common goal: maintaining a supportive "family".

How much does LifeHouse cost? Monthly fees will vary depending on the area in which a home is located. Please refer to individual home links for information on monthly fees.

Who manages LifeHouse? LifeHouse is resident-managed sober living. The residents meet weekly to address management issues in the home. The house manager is a long-term resident of the house who has demonstrated managerial skills and long-term sober living.

What should I bring to LifeHouse? Residents are responsible for their own meals and personal hygiene needs. Through a house fund, split between the current residents, items such as laundry detergent and other basics are purchased.

Are visitors allowed? Yes. However a curfew of 10:30 PM applies to visitors, they may not stay over-night.

Is there a Curfew? For the first 30 day residents are required to be inside the house before 11:00 PM every night. After that, residents are asked to be respectful of the other residents with their work schedules, but no set curfew is present.
