Admittance
With guidance from The Home’s Board of Trustees, the co-managers handle all admissions. They work together to determine if each applicant has a sincere desire to live sober, and is willing to follow all house rules. They may choose to admit him as soon as a space is available within the 14-bed facility. Applicants may apply directly for admission, or be referred by a family member, friend, physician, clergy member, employer, social services agency, or detoxification center.
