Frequently Asked Questions
For Care Providers & Clinicians
How do you handle a resident relapse or a positive drug screening?
To protect the safety and collective sobriety of the household, a resident who tests positive for illicit substances or unprescribed medications is given an immediate administrative discharge. However, we do not abandon our residents. We maintain deep roots in the Commonwealth of Virginia care network and will actively coordinate a warm hand-off to a higher level of care (detox, residential treatment, or intensive outpatient care) to ensure they remain supported.
Do you help residents find employment or community engagement?
Yes. Maintaining 32 hours of weekly productivity is a core requirement of our program. While we do not act as an employment agency, our house managers provide job-search guidance, resume review, and connect residents with local workforce development resources and non-profit volunteer opportunities in the Commonwealth of Virginia area.
What is the minimum and maximum length of stay?
We require a minimum commitment of 90 days, as clinical data proves that longer stays in structured environments drastically reduce relapse rates. However, residents are welcome to remain in our independent living program for up to 12 to 24 months, provided they remain in good standing and are actively progressing toward long-term autonomy.
