Good Neighbor Policy

All clients will be mindful and respectful of their surroundings, especially the neighborhood where the homes are located. Being a part of Steps to Recovery Homes means changing our behavior, perception, and attitude for the goodwill of all. Remember that we are striving to be productive members of our environments.

Respectful behavior means any environment we are a part of, including but not limited to the recovery homes, our workplace, the grocery store, the meetings we attend, etc., but will enable us to succeed in all of our relationships, especially with our families.

Community Standards & Expectations

• You represent yourself and should do so in a manner that exudes excellence and humility. Be proud that you are overcoming an addiction but humble in your attitude toward others. Remember, your actions are what count.
• You represent Steps to Recovery Homes.
• You represent recovering people with an addiction everywhere. The stigma of addiction remains despite decades of public education. Although community members support your recovery, people still struggle with a sober living facility being in their neighborhood. A part of your mission is to demonstrate the strength and character it takes to change for the better. Through our actions, our goal is to show that we are good people with a bad illness and that we deserve a chance.
• Keep your voice lowered and be aware of the subject matter outside and inside. Remember to reflect on how you are acting and ask yourself if it’s productive for those around you. Be mindful of children and others who live with you. Always reflect on how you would feel if you looked at things from their perspective.
• Volunteer to help in any way you can. Look for ways to contribute at home or in public.
• Being a part of the solution and assisting others will be crucial in your journey to long-term recovery.
• At meetings – shut off your phone, pay attention, learn from the people who have maintained long-term sobriety, present as humble, and do not dominate meetings.
• Always remember that we do not need to be understood all the time. Practice active listening, which is a significant part of healthy communication.
• Do not litter, do not spit, drive courteously, and obey all traffic laws. Be a good Samaritan.
• Remember who you have over to the home and follow the visitor policy.
• Use “Please” and “Thank you”.
• Be polite and courteous – you will be amazed how many opportunities will present themselves!
