Questions, answered straight
Everything people ask us on the phone, written down. Anything missing — call and ask the real thing.
A substance-free home shared with other people in recovery. You live a normal life — work, school, treatment — with structure around it: a house schedule, meeting attendance, chores, and a house manager on site. It is housing with accountability, not a treatment program.
Most residents pay a weekly rate that covers the bed, utilities, and the program of the house. We go over exact numbers and payment options in the first phone call — no surprises at move-in.
Call us. The first conversation takes about ten minutes — where you are, what you need, and whether our home is the right fit. If it is, move-in often happens within 48 hours. See how admissions works.
Men, 18 and older, sober at move-in and willing to keep the house schedule. Most residents arrive from detox, treatment, or a stretch of white-knuckling it alone — the common thread is wanting structure around the next chapter.
Yes — during set visiting hours, once you are settled in. Family is part of recovery here, not an interruption to it.

If you’re comparing the two, read our sober living vs. halfway house guide or the New Brunswick halfway house explainer.
Yes — 11 pm on weeknights, midnight on weekends, with documented flexibility for work shifts.
There’s no fixed term. We recommend at least 90 days; most residents stay four to nine months.
No. Many residents come straight from detox or from the community. You need to be sober at move-in and committed to the house schedule.
