House expectations
Clear guidelines. Safe environment.
Our expectations are designed to protect the recovery environment and help residents build healthy routines.
Living at Narrow Path
By joining our community, you agree to uphold these standards.
Zero Tolerance Policy
Any use, possession, or distribution of drugs or alcohol on or off premises results in immediate discharge from the program. We protect the recovery environment for every resident.
Drug & Alcohol Testing
Random drug and alcohol testing is a routine part of life here. Refusal to test is treated the same as a positive test.
Meeting Attendance
Residents are expected to attend a minimum number of recovery meetings each week (AA, NA, SMART, or equivalent) and provide verification.
Curfew & House Meetings
Weekday and weekend curfews are firm. Weekly mandatory house meetings keep communication open and the community strong.
Chores & Cleanliness
Every resident contributes to shared chores. Personal spaces and common areas are kept clean as part of building healthy daily habits.
Employment & Productivity
Residents must be actively employed, enrolled in school, in a treatment program, or engaged in approved volunteer work within 30 days.
