Oasis Sober Living is a transitional sober residence for individuals who are recovering from alcohol and substance abuse. Residents are subject to substance testing at any time while living at Oasis Sober Living. THE USE, AND/OR POSSESSION OF DRUGS AND/OR ALCOHOL IS GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE EXPULSION. All policies and procedures outlined within this agreement and any applicable subsequent amendments are in full force and effect during the Resident’s entire residency at Oasis Sober Living unless specifically defined within a subsection of this agreement. Violation of any policy or procedure outlined within this agreement and any applicable subsequent amendments will result in disciplinary actions, including, but not limited to, fines, fees, house probation/restriction, and possible expulsion.

Oasis Sober Living incorporates a Phase System with Residents, wherein certain expectations are identified, and goals are set. Completion or progress towards these goals enables each resident to progress to the next phase, within which there will be new privileges and new goals.

Conversely, failure to abide by Oasis Sober Living rules and regulations may result in a reversal of a current Resident phase.

Residents will not be phased up to the next phase until the expected goals of the current phase are met.

PHASE 1

Each resident begins at Phase 1, regardless of previously achieved recovery goals, such as step work, involvement in treatment, job, schooling, etc.

Curfew Policy

Curfew is a privilege while staying here at Oasis Sober Living.

If, for any reason, you find you are going to be late for curfew, please call your designated house manager immediately. Do not wait until 5 minutes before your designated curfew to inform them that you will be late. If you are late and unexcused for curfew, then your curfew will be rescinded to 9 PM. If you are already on a 9 PM curfew, you will be placed on an even earlier curfew.

Residents’ recovery progress will be tracked on a weekly spreadsheet detailing the following:

Does the resident have a sponsor?
What step is resident on?
How many 12-step meetings is the resident attending weekly?
Does the Resident have a home group?
Is the resident working, in school, or volunteering?
Is the resident following house rules, including cleanliness?

Concerns neighbors have can be addressed to:

Residence Managers

Neighbors can address their concerns with the CRRA personally or by phone. The CRRA name and phone number will be posted inside each residence. Each staff member and resident manager will be trained on this policy by the CRAA or designee. Residents are educated on this policy upon admission, in review of the residence guidelines. This policy is responsive and preemptive to neighbors’ reasonable complaints regarding: smoking, loitering, parking, noise, lewd or offensive language, cleanliness of public space around the property, and parking courtesy rules where street parking is scarce. The recovery resident within the residence guidelines outlines expectations that enable it to ensure these good neighbor practices are accomplished.

Residents will smoke in the rear or side of their properties. All cigarette butts are to be placed in a fireproof receptacle.
Residents will not make excessive noise.
Residents will not loiter around the front of the property.
Residents will keep the exterior of the home in good condition. Residents will not leave broken down vehicles, trash, or bulk material to pile up in view of the property from the street. Residents will ensure the exterior of the home resembles a traditional family household.
Residents will park in front of Oasis Sober Living’s residences and not the neighbors’ residences.
Residents are expected to act as good neighbors and greet neighbors in a friendly manner.
Residents will direct all neighbor grievances or complaints directly to the CRRA or Owner. Phone numbers for the Owner and CRRA will be placed in the front window of the manager’s office. Residents are not to handle complaints from neighbors on their own.

- Medication Storage & Use Policy -

Policy: Here at Oasis Sober Living, residents’ mental and physical health are important to us. We encourage residents to seek assistance from doctors if they require their services. The resident’s mental and physical health is equally important to the safety and protection of the entire community. Before choosing to be a part of Oasis Sober Living, many of our residents spent a lot of time drug seeking through doctors. It is incredibly important for the well-being of our community that such behavior will be discouraged here at Oasis Sober Living. If a resident needs to see a psychiatrist due to mental health concerns or needs to see a doctor for physical health concerns, Oasis Sober Living will assist them when possible.

Oasis Sober Living will enact practices that will enable safe handling of medications by its residents. The goal of this policy is to diminish the chance of abuse and misuse of medications in the Oasis Sober Living community.

Medication counts will be conducted randomly and upon suspicion of medication abuse. If discrepancies are found, the resident will be staffed by Oasis Sober Living to find out why the medication count is incorrect. If it is found that medication is abused in any manner, Oasis Sober Living will consider this a relapse, and the resident will be discharged.

If a resident takes a mind-altering substance, and it is deemed not to be a medical necessity, meaning severe bodily injury, that resident will be discharged from our residence. Oasis Sober Living staff will determine what is considered “severe bodily injury”, due to the importance of maintaining our abstinence-free environment. If, as a resident, you feel you really need something, but the staff disagrees, please do what you feel is right for you; you will no longer be allowed to continue residing with Oasis Sober Living.

- Drug Testing/Toxicology Policy -

Policy: All Oasis Sober Living residents will be required to undergo weekly drug testing during their stay in our housing. Residents will be breathalyzed nightly as well.

Procedure: All UAs will be performed with an instant 14-panel cup to determine if a resident is abstaining from drugs and alcohol. Observed Drug Testing will happen for each resident once every week and for all routine testing. Breathalyzers will nightly for all routine testing. Residents will have 60 minutes upon notification of having to UA to produce a specimen. If a resident’s UA comes back positive under any circumstance, the Owner and/or CRRA will be notified immediately. If the resident is adamant that they did not use, then the resident will be allowed to take an additional UA (must be within 90 minutes of the original test). If that test is positive, then that test will be the final determination about the resident’s dismissal from Oasis Sober Living. Residents who are suspected to be under the influence, as well as residents who produced a positive result and are disputing the result, will be required to go to the local ER and get tested, and provide documentation of the negative test and medical clearance to be allowed to stay at Oasis Sober Living. Oasis Sober Living does not have the confirmation testing resources to confirm any questionable positive tests.

The UA cup result, as well as the investigation into the positive test by the Oasis Sober Living staff, will serve as the final determination as to how the positive result in question will be viewed.

All UA results will be kept in a general log noting the residents’ names, date, time, and results. This logbook will be kept at housing and maintained by the resident manager. Additionally, Oasis Sober Living will absorb the cost of the UA cups as part of the program fee agreement structure.

- Recurrence of Use Policy -

Policy: Oasis Sober Living has a zero-tolerance drug/alcohol abuse policy.

Procedure: Upon request, the resident will have one hour to provide a sample if asked. If the resident cannot provide a urine sample, the test will be deemed a positive result. Residents who test positive in our community will no longer be allowed to stay in our housing until they complete some form of drug and alcohol treatment and are cleared medically by a doctor. If the resident tests positive, then it is Oasis Sober Living's prerogative to protect the rest of the Oasis Sober Living community. The resident will be separated from the community and then asked to pack all their belongings with the company of an Oasis Sober Living staff member. Residents will be required to be accompanied by Oasis Sober Living staff until discharged from the property. If an alternative living arrangement, such as PHP, detox, sober living, or family residence, cannot be arranged, then the resident will be transported to a safe area such as a hospital or shelter. Residents who refuse a higher level of care will be given one hour to vacate the premises and will be given a list of community resources, as well as FARR-accredited properties in the area. Upon positive test results, the resident’s emergency contact will be notified. Depending on the time of the positive result, Oasis Sober Living may place the resident in a supervised isolation inside the manager's unit until the next morning, when alternative living arrangements can be made (Must be medically cleared by the hospital first before being offered this).

It is the right of Oasis Sober Living to determine if a resident will be welcomed back into our community after a positive drug or alcohol result. Many factors will determine this decision, but not limited to some of the following questions:

Was the resident working a program of recovery prior to the recurrence?
Has the resident shown a pattern of relapse in their past?
Has the resident accepted responsibility for their actions?
Is the resident ready to accept consequences for their actions?
Was the resident following all house rules prior to the recurrence?
Has the resident expressed the desire to stay sober?
Is the resident open to accepting suggestions moving forward?
Does the resident understand that if they are brought back, they will be monitored more closely than before?
Do the other residents support bringing back the resident?

If a resident is brought back into the community after relapsing, they should expect the following:

Increased UAs and BAs
Early Curfew
Increased chore duties
Required to attend 90 meetings in 90 days (one missed will result in expulsion from the house)
Loss of other privileges, such as community events
Increased monitoring from staff

- Discharge Policy -

Policy: To document and communicate the resident’s readiness for discharge or need for transfer to another level of care. If the criteria apply to the existing or new problem(s), the resident should be discharged or transferred, as appropriate.

Procedure: It is appropriate to transfer or discharge the resident from the present level of care at Oasis Sober Living if the resident meets the following criteria:

The resident’s documented plans, goals, and objectives have been substantially met, and/or a safe, continuing care program can be arranged and deployed at an alternate level of care.
The resident no longer meets admission criteria or meets criteria for a less or more intensive level of care.
Consent for care is withdrawn, and it is determined that the resident has the capacity to make an informed decision and does not meet criteria for Oasis Sober Living level of care.
Support systems, which allow the resident to be maintained in a less restrictive structured environment, have been thoroughly explored and/or secured.
The resident is not making progress toward their own and/or Oasis Sober Living goals, and there is no reasonable expectation of progress at this level of care.
Finally, the resident fails a UA/BA, which determines they need a higher level of care.

Any resident expelled for any reason other than a successful discharge will not be permitted to return to the premises and must go to a relative, stabilization respite, mission, shelter, hospital, or detox. All discharging residents will receive community resources upon exit.

In the event of any type of discharge, any items not collected within ten (10) days will become the property of Oasis Sober Living and will be donated to the local charity.

The residents’ emergency contact will be notified of discharge for any type of discharge.

Procedure for residents to pick up belongings (Abandonment, ASA, etc.):

Upon expulsion, personal belongings must be picked up within 10 days, or the belongings will become the property of Oasis Sober Living and may be donated to a local charity. The resident or their representative must stay in contact with Oasis Sober Living staff during this time or risk having their property donated to charity. Any refund of fees paid in advance will be forfeited in the event of the resident leaving the property without prior proper notification. Refund of prepaid fees will be paid at the discretion of the Owner.

Procedure for resident administratively discharged:

Any residents administratively discharged from Oasis Sober Living will have 1 hour to vacate the property. The resident will be accompanied by an Oasis Sober Living staff member during this time. Residents will be made aware that if they re-enter the Oasis Sober Living property without permission, then they will be deemed trespassers, and the proper authorities will be contacted.

Procedure for resident successfully discharged:

A resident has successfully discharged from the program once they have successfully transitioned into phase 4, achieved their recovery goals, and have become stable enough in their recovery to be able to support themselves without sober living. Length of stay is determined by the residents and not the provider. Please inform Oasis Sober Living one week prior to moving out. Upon leaving the resident’s bedroom should be thoroughly cleaned and left ready for the next resident to move in. Residents who successfully complete and leave the property in good condition will be introduced into the Oasis Sober Living alumni program.

Policy: Oasis Sober Living will make aware of all incoming staff members and residents aware of its emergency policies and procedures.

Procedures: Please contact 911 immediately in an emergency situation.

Opioid overdose

In the event of an opioid overdose, please call 911 immediately. Narcan is located in each residence on the table in the living room.

Hurricane and Other Extreme Weather Disaster Plan:

Disasters include hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, severe weather storms, and other weather-related conditions, epidemics, nuclear power plant accidents, acts of bio-terrorism, civil disturbances, and severe power outages.

The following plan will primarily address preparedness relative to hurricanes and severe weather conditions. This plan will be used as the basis for dealing with other types of disaster conditions and will be modified accordingly. Hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30, and weather conditions will be closely monitored during this time to watch for the development of tropical storms and hurricanes that may threaten our geographic area.

STORM WATCH ACTIVITIES:

Storm watch activities follow notification through the media that a storm may be headed in our general direction, and we may be affected by it. This is the period of alert when most people begin preparations and secure supplies. Since Oasis Sober Living has implemented pre-watch preparations, watch activities are involved only.

Hurricane Watch: Conditions are favorable for a hurricane to affect the area where Oasis Sober Living is located. Administration will notify all the residents to take any precautionary measures to secure the facilities and ensure the safety of the residents.

Hurricane Warning: A Hurricane Warning means that a hurricane is actually going to have an effect. Hurricanes can be deadly and devastating storms, with winds up to 200 miles per hour. If a Hurricane Warning is issued for the Oasis Sober Living area, the residence staff who have already been identified and the procedure for Natural Disasters will go into effect. Staff will be sure that all “doors and windows are as secure as possible and then leave the premises.

DISASTER PLAN OF ACTIVITIES:

The following plan will outline activities that are to be engaged in before, during, and after the disaster.

Pre Watch

Monitor storm activities through media coverage
Gather supplies: food, water, safety, and emergency medical items. Store these separately from the main supply to avoid use. Check shelf dates throughout and replace any outdated items.
Inform residents of the significance of monitoring the path and development of tropical storms, giving us sufficient time to prepare adequately, review, and/or revise plans, and allow time to notify all concerned individuals.
Review evacuation plans and relocation sites. Take note if the facility is located in an evacuation zone. In the event of a hurricane or severe weather conditions, affected residents and staff will need to evacuate.

PLANNING FOR RESIDENTS' NEEDS:

Residents will be informed and included in the preparations as soon as notification of an impending storm/emergency is received. This will be tailored to each of the houses. Appropriate staff will assess each resident to determine any special needs that can be planned for in advance, as well as identify those individuals who will be most at risk in an emergency. This assessment should include (but not be limited to) medical, emotional, behavioral, and physical needs. It will consider what residents will be most affected by changes in location, schedules and routines, lack of air conditioning, change in meals, and absence of work programs. The staff will, at this time, determine who will evacuate to a site different than that designated for all residents. Availability, appropriateness, preparedness, administration consideration, and most importantly, resident and family choices, will determine if a resident will go to their families', guardians’, or friends’ home, instead of an evacuation site designated for residents.

Any residents who choose to ride the storm out elsewhere will be required to provide contact information for the location where they plan to shelter. The residents will also be required to maintain daily contact with Oasis Sober Living via phone call or text. Upon returning to Oasis Sober Living, the resident must submit to a UA and a BA

WARNING STAGE ACTIVITIES:

Once the hurricane-warning period is announced, we can expect that the hurricane will make landfall within forty-eight (48) hours. The media will begin announcing the phone numbers to call to secure emergency shelter, and for other information.

During the Hurricane Warning Phase:

Prepare the physical residence.
Follow through with the administrative preparatory plan;
Implement evacuation plan – (recommended items to be taken to a shelter are food, water, medications, first aid kits, flashlights, portable chargers (battery banks) work gloves, leisure items, books, magazines, games, arts and crafts, sports equipment, hand-held video games, tapes and radio, and extra batteries).

Shelter in Place / In the event of a power outage:

In the event of a shelter-in-place during the hurricane, all residents will be required to stay inside their homes until the storm has passed, and the local authorities have deemed it is safe to go back outside. Oasis Sober Living will provide water, non-perishable food (2 days), adequate medical supplies / first aid kit, batteries, candles, charcoal or gas grill.

Residents are responsible for making all arrangements to have an adequate supply of their medications, personal hygiene items, and any additional food or snacks.

Temporary Shelter:

Oasis Sober Living is committed to providing temporary shelter, if necessary, to our residents and staff, in the event of severe emergency conditions (i.e., severe storms, floods and flash floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes) that impact the integrity of Oasis Sober Living. It will be the responsibility of the CRRA to establish a temporary shelter for residents and staff once a severe emergency has been identified by TV, radio, and/or the State of Florida. In addition, the American Red Cross will also identify temporary shelters within the community (generally within 2-4 hours prior to a disaster or 2-4 days of required evacuation due to a hurricane).

When there is an emergency that requires residents and staff to evacuate the Oasis Sober Living facilities to a temporary shelter, designated staff will implement the standard procedure for emergencies, then evacuate to the temporary site.

Possible Evacuation Sites

Palm Beach Central High School
West Boynton Recreation Center
Boynton Beach High School

During the emergency:

Once staff and the residents arrive at the evacuation site, staff responsibilities will consist of assisting residents to settle in and become comfortable, unloading and organizing supplies (designating areas for medications safekeeping and dispensation, inter-staff communications, an area for food and water supplies, an area for house wares and housekeeping supplies, and an area for laundry disposables.) Engage residents in as many activities as possible. Staff in charge will ensure that everyone stays indoors and away from the windows.

After the emergency:

Stay tuned to the radio and TV stations until you hear the official “all clear”. Before going outside, make sure you have sturdy shoes to help avoid cuts from debris, falls, etc. Stay away from downed power lines. Do not use tap water. Assume a “Boil Water Order” is in effect until you are informed otherwise. Drive only where necessary. Maintain residents at the evacuation site until it is determined that the facility/residence is safe to move back into. Follow the predetermined designated emergency plan for the 48-hour period following the event. Please stay in contact with your supervisors if phones are operable. After the event, residents should be allowed to make safe calls to their family members.

- Grievance Policy -

If a resident feels that their rights have been violated or if they feel they have been unjustly accused of violating any rule, then they must use the following grievance procedure. It is important that the residents follow these steps. This procedure has been established to ensure that you are treated fairly. Situations in which you have clearly violated rules or situations that are beyond the direct control of staff do not constitute grounds of grievance. Oasis Sober Living will post the grievance policy in a conspicuous location in the residence. Oasis Sober Living will include a FARR grievance redirect link on the provider website.

The processing procedures for grievances and complaints are as follows:

The resident is encouraged to discuss any problems with their resident manager. The resident and the resident manager will try to find a resolution. The resident manager will correspond with the CRRA - Teddy Beddoe (954) 709-1873 on the grievance and/or complaint and any resolution.
All grievances shall first be filed with the resident manager by completing a grievance form. Grievance forms are located in each residence. The resident manager will conduct an internal investigation and render an initial determination and resolution within 2 days of receipt of the complaint in writing.
If the complainant is not satisfied or if the complaint is not resolved with the results achieved in Step 2, the complainant may file an appeal, and/or the grievance shall be forwarded to the Owner and CRRA, and this meeting shall be held within five days of the date it is requested. The decision of the CRRA is final
The resident shall be presented with a resolution and response to their grievance in writing.
In the event that the Client does not feel a resolution has been reached, they may contact FARR.
Resident will face no retribution for filing a grievance against a provider.

If the grievance is against a manager, a grievance may be submitted in writing directly to the Owner and/or CRRA. The Owner and/or CRRA will speak with you within two business days after receiving the grievance. Within two business days after that, the Owner and/or CRRA will respond to you in writing.

If a financial hardship agreement is made, then the resident shall sign off on it stating that they understand if they fail to meet the expectations outlined in the plan, then they will be subjected to be discharged from Oasis Sober Living. This financial hardship agreement shall be placed in the resident’s file.

If an amicable solution cannot be made regarding the program fee obligation, then the resident shall be informed that they have a time frame to become in good financial standing with Oasis Sober Living, or they will be dismissed from Oasis Sober Living residence. All avenues for the procurement of program fee payment should be taken before dismissing the resident. The resident will be provided with community resources prior to discharge.
